Coffee Club

[microchick]

I forgot till just now. A friend of mine cooks her apples with the peel on, the puts it through a food mill. She says her applesauce is nice and thick. I've never done it that way; I've always peeled them first.

It just dawned on me: She's getting all the pectin in the skins in her sauce.

Anyone else do it that way?

I'd try that but can't have fruit skins. Yeah, that is where all the vitamins are. Figures. But that makes sense.

I do mine is big cast iron skillet spice like a pie nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Little brown sugar after cooked.
I use potato masher to knock them down. We do peel them before. Do not make soup as grandma said leave body chunks small cooked pieces are welcome.

Good morning - coffee is ready.

Morning all! My second cup is long cold but still tastes good so I'm finishing it off and going to iced mint tea.

My apple sauce is cooked, then mashed only till the big chunks are small chunks. Then frozen for future use.

I have never tried the applesauce pie. Make it the way my mom made it only without the cinnamon as DH doesn't like it. I do, but I'm not a big apple pie fan so doesn't matter.

Now Apple cobbler, that is another story altogether.

Good morning Club here with my second cup and another pot to share .. Have one more jar of the last apple sauce I made ..

All the applesauce talk is inspiring me to go look in the dungeon for some pear sauce. I’m indulging in some just past noon coffee. I got two loads of poopy goat hay delivered this morning so I’m feeling lucky!

I used to make apple sauce when the kids were little.
