Cranberry Applesauce No Sugar Added Food

CRANBERRY APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Peel and core apples then cut into large chunks. If using an immersion blender for a smooth applesauce, you may leave the peels on for added nutrition.
• Place apples, cranberries, maple syrup, cinnamon, cloves, orange zest, salt and water into a large heavy bottomed pot on medium high heat.
• Cook for 10 minutes then stir.
• Cook an additional 15-20 minutes with lid on, stirring regularly until sauce is preferred consistency.
• For chunky cranberry applesauce, just break things up with a wooden spoon or potato masher. For a totally smooth cranberry applesauce, use an immersion blender to puree.
• Preserve in jars using a water bath method.
