Encouraged by my success with tasty croutons, I'm eager to learn how to make new foods, especially ones I never imagined cooking at home. My latest project is applesauce. Yes, real applesauce made from scratch.
I rode out to Aquebogue today. I heard Helen's Farm grows good apples. They have several varieties, all of which look delicious. I bought a bunch and brought 'em home.
On the way back, I stopped at Wildwood State Park and soaked up some sun at the water's edge.
Making applesauce is simple: you just cook apples and add sweetener. I prefer maple syrup to sugar and honey because of its taste and superior nutrition.
My project was a success. Next time you invite me over, I'll bring a batch. :-)
What a fun day trip! Homemade apple sauce sounds delicious!

We always make our own apple sauce, and we've even got a quick microwave recipe for when we're in a hurry! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful trip! I've made applesauce before too! Yum!
ReplyDeleteHomemade applesauce is the best! I'm also very fond of apple crisp and apple pie : )

If you are ever in Kansas, please do stop by! I have not tried applesauce. We have made and canned apple pie filling. Loved your pictures!
ReplyDeleteI made homemade apple sauce last year with the batch we picked up and the smell was heavenly ❤️ So glad you had a wonderful time apple picking and getting out there!
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sounds amazing!! I love apples in the fall!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, sounds good!!!! I just stewed a load of pears and half an old apple - I could have made pear sauce instead!
