Apple Sauce

Little_Miss_Naughty

I often make fresh appple sauce when we have roast pork. I always make more than we eat and even though i put it in the fridge it goes off quite quickly.

Is there anyway of preserving it - like you do with jams etc

Thanks:p

Hiya

An earlier thread on apple sauce should help you out on this one. )Post #2 says you can freeze it with no problems, for instance.) So I've added your query to it.

Good luck

I use up any eating apples that are 'almost walking to the bin by themselves'. Just peel, microwave with a little water - sometimes add a few sultanas - taste in case it needs a little sugar but eating apples rarely need sugar. Allow to cool down and then freeze in those very tiny sized plastic storage boxes - usually enough for 2/3 dollops. If you put it into a big container you can't use the full amount you have to defrost.

We always use Apple Chutney instead of apple sauce with pork, sausages, etc. Make a whole batch and it lasts for ages. Will look out recipe.

Apple Chutney Recipe

5lbs Cooking Apples (Bramleys)
1lb shallots or onions
1lb sugar
1 oz salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
half ounce pickling spice
1 pint vinegar

Peel and cut apples and shallots. Place both in preserving pan. Add sugar, salt, ginger, spices (tied in muslin bag) and vinegar - boil for approx 1.5 hours stirring often.

I've substituted malt vinegar with cider vinegar and also another time wine vinegar, which also gives good results.

I'm going to have to make apple sauce now, in the US it's very popular to eat as a snack

My grandmother used to cook up a whole batch of stewed apple. She would make two plate apple pies - one for Saturday teatime served with custard, and one to give for refreshments. (We had German Shepherd dogs and used to go to a training centre on a sunday. The ladies donated pies/cakes for refreshments). There were usually some stewed apples left over and those would re-appear on Monday tea-time served with evap in summer or custard in the winter.

I've got a load of apples and want to make apple sauce with them... but, due to limited freezer space, I'd prefer to store it in jars, so what recipe would be ok to keep that way for a few months please? Think I'll also give the apple chutney a try... that looks nice.
