James is a BIG fan of applesauce. Personally, he feels it is one of the four food groups. I have been trying to figure out a way to get him applesauce that tastes good and does not have sugar in it. I have experimented with trying different apples, cooking applesauce in the crockpot and on the stove, and adding various spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. They all turned out okay, but the best ones have always ended up with lots of sugar to sweeten it. Not that he cares too much, but I feel bad when he wrinkles his nose up at my applesauce. Then, I found the perfect recipe only using fresh organic fruit.
James Applesauce:
8 organic red delicious apples
2 organic pears
-Rinse fruit and peel it.
-Dice it in medium chunks and toss in a large saucepan or dutch oven with enough water to cover the fruit. -Cook for 20 minutes, or until fruit is tender.
-Puree in a food processor for 2 minutes.
-Viola! The pear not only sweetens it, but you are adding a good source of Vitamin C and Dietary Fiber.
