ROSY APPLESAUCE

I always end up with lots of rhubarb each summer, but many of the recipes use a lot of sugar. This one lets the fruit sweeten up the rhubarb instead. I refrigerate the sauce overnight to help the flavors blend. -Amy Nelson, Weston, Wisconsin

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe rhubarb stalks: Avoid stalks that are limp or have blemishes. Thicker stalks will yield more applesauce.
  • Peel the rhubarb stalks: This is not necessary, but it will give the applesauce a smoother texture.
  • Use a variety of apples: Using a mix of sweet and tart apples will give the applesauce a more complex flavor.
  • Add spices to taste: Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all popular additions to applesauce.
  • Use a slow cooker to make applesauce: This is a great way to make applesauce without having to babysit it on the stove.
  • Freeze applesauce for later use: Applesauce can be frozen for up to 6 months.
