Meals Made Ahead: Applesauce

Applesauce

3 pounds cooking apples (9 medium), peeled, quartered & cored—(or leave some peels on)
1 cup water
1/3 c. sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

In a large pot combine apples, water, sugar & cinnamon. Bring to boil, reduce heat. Cover; simmer 8-10 minutes or till apples are tender; adding more water if necessary. Remove from heat & mash to desired consistency. Stir before serving. Serve warm or chilled.

We intended to try this recipe last fall and even had it on our August menu. In the end we had too many other recipes to cook that month and didn't get to it. Maybe this fall!

This applesauce recipe is one of my family's favorites. I have never tried to freeze it. It does take some prep time with the peeling & cutting of the apples, but is well worth it! I usually double this recipe & my family will eat the double batch in 3 days time!

About this blog:

We are a group of moms who get together about once a month or so to cook Meals Made Ahead.

Meals Made Ahead are great because it's nice to always have something in the freezer for those nights that are busy, those nights when you can't think of anything to make, those nights when you have nothing to cook with because you didn't feel like dragging two screaming kids through the grocery store, those nights when you just don't feel like cooking.

Sure, we could do this on our own. But it's much more fun to cook with friends (and share the clean up!)

The secret ingredient

"If a woman could see the sparks of light going forth from her fingertips when she is cooking, and the substance of light that goes into the food she handles, she would be amazed to see how much of herself she charges into the meals that she prepares for her family and friends. It is one of the most important and least understood activities of life, that the radiation and feeling that go into the preparation of food affect everyone who partakes of it. And this activity should be unhurried, peaceful, and happy because the substance of the lifestream performing the service flows into that food and is eaten, and actually becomes part of the energy of the receiver. It would be better that an individual did not eat at all than to eat food that has been prepared under a feeling of anger, apathy, resentment, depression, or any outward pressure."
