Crabapple Sauce Food

CRABAPPLE SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Quarter the crabapples. Remove the stems and blossom ends, but leave the skins. If you have a food mill, you can leave the cores, too. If you don't, go ahead and core the crabapples.
• If you leave the cores, you can use the juice left in the pot after cooking your crabapples, to make crabapple jelly.
• Pour the prepped crabapples into a large pot. Add one cup of water for each pound of crabapples.
• Bring the pot to a boil. Then, reduce it to a simmer.
• Cook 20-25 minutes, or until crabapples are soft.
• Drain the pot (retain the juice, if you plan to make crabapple jelly). Then, run the crabapples through a food mill to turn them into sauce. You can also use an immersion blender or food processor.
• Taste your crabapple sauce, and add sugar to taste. Crabapples are pretty tart, so you'll probably want to add sugar, even if you're used to eating unsweetened applesauce.
• Refrigerate your crabapple sauce, if you plan to use it soon. Otherwise freeze it, or process it in a water-bath canner - 15 minutes for pints; 20 minutes for quarts.
