Applesauce Recipe Jamie Oliver Food

THE BEST HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
• Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

APPLE & CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a wide saucepan and add a splash of water.
• Put the pan on the heat and bring to the boil. Simmer gently until the cranberries have burst and the apple has softened.
• Boil down until the mixture thickens slightly, then take off the heat and leave to cool.
• If giving as a gift, divide between air-tight sterilised jars (see the how to video below) and give out to all your friends. Once opened, store in the fridge.

APPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Tip all the ingredients into a pan, then cover with a lid. Place the pan on a low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15 mins until the apples break down into a purée. Stir to knock out any lumps, then tip into a serving dish.
