Since the weather started to have that fall-is-coming edge to it, I have been thinking about applesauce<\/p>\n

Making applesauce was one of my birthday goals last year, but sadly (read: for no darned good reason), I didn’t make any. So when I checked the ad for the store where I do a bunch of my shopping and saw that Honeycrisp apples were going for $1.49\/lb, I decided to go for it. I checked first, making sure that these were a decent choice for making applesauce. The Internet gave me her blessing and I went on.<\/p>\n

I started with this recipe.<\/a><\/p>\n

Basically, I washed the apples, then used my super cool apple corer on the apples. (12 of them.) I threw them in a pot with some water, brought it to a boil, reduced the heat, then let the apples cook until they made my place smell great and they were soft. I poured some of liquid off of the apples and pulsed them with my stick blender. I tasted the applesauce and found it fine the way that it was. Then I started to jar and process it. The first pint was plain. The second pint, I added pumpkin pie spice. With the last two pints (I didn’t think I was going to get 2 pints here), I added cranberries. \u00a0It wasn’t the quickest process in the world, but it was easy and I am happy that I have some applesauce that is tasty, yet has no added sugar. That and I have now completed\u00a0Goal # 23<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
