HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE CONTINUED

The Applesauce will come out very thick. In order to moisten it and give it a better flavor we add the apple water which you have set aside previously.




Pour the liquid into the applesauce. Make sure you use a strainer to remove any peel or seeds the apples have left behind. Here is where I leave it up to you. Some of my family like thick applesauce and some like a thinner consistency. Add water until the applesauce is to the consistency you prefer.




This is the finished product. I don't add any sugar to my applesauce. If you used an apple that wasn't sweet enough you may want to add some sugar. Taste it as you add to make sure that you don't over sweeten it.


Use a large mouthed funnel to pour applesauce into jars. Put the lids on and place them into your water bath canner. I bring them to a full boil and then time them for 15 minutes. After they come to a boil you can turn down the temperature just slightly but make sure it boils all 15 minutes. When the 15 minutes are over use a gripper to take the bottles out and place them on a towel until cooled.




After they have cooled enough that you can touch them push on the top of the lid to make sure they have sealed. They should all be sealed but if you push down on the lid and it makes a popping noise turn the bottle upside down for a few hours. If you check it later and it still pops make sure you put it in the fridge for breakfast!



Serve at any time of day and enjoy!
