Homemade applesauce is a staple for most Amish, growing up we did not eat a lot of it or make it all the time.
But Merle was used to having it with most every meal, as a lot of people in our community do.
So after we got married I started making applesauce, usually a bushel or two,
wash the apples, cut them up, cook them, run through a strainer, add sugar and scoop it into freezer containers.
One long tiring day but it was really nice to have lots of applesauce in the freezer for my family even if I am not very gung ho about it.
Ok so then..... we moved to Florida and the whole canning - freezing thing pretty much went out the door, not even completely sure why...well party because of a lack of apple orchards down here.....or maybe I don't know where to go....or maybe because I don't care. :(
So then one day I am browsing along in our local Sam's club and what do I see?.....
Yes you guessed it....big ole containers of APPLESAUCE
YAY....so I bought a couple containers, took them home, dumped it into the blender added a bit of sugar, poured in freezer containers and in to the freezer they went.
Easy Peasy!!
I've had people over for dinner and they are like.... wow homemade applesauce?
I don't take credit for the homemade stuff of course :)
no seriously this stuff tastes just like the real thing!
HOW COOL IS THIS?
