-Water
Prep
Time: 45 minutes
Step 2-Pour into Food Processor |
I
used 14 apples of varying types and colors. This is also perfect for apples
that are bruised. If you have more or less apples, don't worry, just adjust the
water level. First I removed the core and sliced them into wedges.
I
brought about 1/2 cup of water to boil in a stockpot and threw in all the
apples, turned it down and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. It smells
delicous. You can add blackberries, strawberries, pears or any other
combination you like, just put them in with the simmering water.
Step 3-the Magic happens |
When
it's all squishy and mushy pour it all into your food processor and turn it on.
No need to drain it. Adjust your time processing it if you like it chunky or
smooth. It should only take about a minute. I added some organic cinnamon and
there is no need to add any sweetener, the apples are sweet enough.
From
this batch I got enough for 1 pint & 1 quart mason jars. Make sure to refrigerate
them and eat them quickly since there aren't any preservatives. It should last
for about 2 weeks.
Success! |
I made this all the time in the winter- so yummy and comforting in the cold months of Ohio! Also, my friend's 10 year old son LOVES it and actually now prefers it over the corn syrup sweetened stuff!
