APPLESAUCE WITH CRANBERRY LOAF CAKE



Applesauce With Cranberry Loaf Cake image

Base recipe was found in the All You Magazine but I've tweaked it to make it my own. This is a full flavored cake with a lemony glaze topping which I found to take this cake just over the top of expectations. Of course you can omit the glaze and just serve as a loaf cake for breakfast. The original recipe does not include nuts but I really enjoyed it with some chopped walnuts so I've placed that as optional to this recipe. It also called for raisins but I used Craisins instead. Please note it is very important to use a thicker applesauce for this recipe - using a thin commercial canned sauce can cause the batter to become too thin and not allow the cake loaf to rise properly while baking.

Lemon Ginger Cranberry Applesauce image

I wanted a brighter-tasting cranberry sauce instead of one that had just a sweet note of sugar. Using lemonade concentrate made it easy and the ginger was perfect with the tart cranberries. Adding lemon peel would be good with this also, and this is wonderful served on top of turkey soup! Also good for any time of the year.

CRANBERRY APPLESAUCE WITH ORANGE AND PEARS



Cranberry Applesauce With Orange and Pears image

Slightly tart cranberry applesauce, a favorite of my step-daughter and my 16-month-old grandchild. I use orange juice and pears to sweeten the sauce in lieu of granulated sugar. I finish with a small amount of honey -- so small that the pediatrician cleared this for the grandchild at 6 months. I use a 6-1/2 quart Le Creuset pot, and puree to desired consistency in a Vitamix. For the 6-mo.-old, her mom froze this in ice cube trays; today her dad froze this in 1-quart heavy-duty resealable freezer bags. If you prefer a decidedly sweet sauce, add 1/2 cup brown sugar to the orange juice and heat until sugar has dissolved before adding apple slices, etc., or adjust at the end by adding simple syrup to desired sweetness. This mixture will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h

Yield 4 quarts, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons orange rind, finely grated

2 ripe bosc pears, peeled and cored and cut in wedges
12 ounces fresh cranberries, washed and picked over or 12 ounces frozen cranberries, thawed
2 -3 tablespoons honey
3 inches cinnamon sticks

Steps:

  • Put orange juice, orange rind and lemon juice in stockpot or 6-1/2-quart pot.
  • Peel, core and slice one apple at a time, adding slices to pot and tossing slices in the liquid (to prevent browning).
  • Peel, core and slice one pear at a time, adding slices to pot and tossing slices in the liquid.
  • Add cranberries and honey and mix well. Immerse the cinnamon stick in the middle.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
  • If using a Vitamix, the mixture does not need to cool before pureeing; otherwise, let mixture cool 20 minutes before pureeing in batches to desired consistency.

CRANBERRY APPLESAUCE - NO SUGAR ADDED



Cranberry Applesauce - No Sugar Added image

This is a vividly pink, wonderfully tart cranberry applesauce. Makes a great condiment for savory foods such as meat or potato pancakes, and also wonderful when eaten alone. It has no sugar added, thus it is VERY tart (which I love) - If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (I like Braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (Granny Smith, for example).

POTATO LATKES (WITH OPTIONAL CRANBERRY APPLESAUCE)



Potato Latkes (With Optional Cranberry Applesauce) image

A family favoite, these will make a great side to serve for the "2013 Thanksgiv-ukkah". They are pretty quick and easy to make (with the use of a food processor). I know that mashed potatoes are a staple for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but these Latkes would make a great alternative for those who are tired of the same dish every year. I hope you enjoy them. (The optional Recipe #509843 is posted separately). FYI: We like these Latkes as a breakfast item... really!

Provided by rosie316

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 10-15 Latkes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups white onions, diced and divided
1 large egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 lbs russet potatoes
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Line a colander with cheesecloth and place over a large bowl. In another large mixing bowl, combine half of the diced onions (1 1/4 c), egg, flour, salt and baking powder. Mix with a rubber spatula to combine.
  • Peel potatoes and cut into 1" cubes, working quickly so the potatoes do not brown. Using the grater attachment on your food processor, grate the potato with the remaining 1 1/4 c of diced onions. Pour the potato/onion mixture into the cheesecloth lined colander over a bowl, wrap cloth around mixture and wring out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid, but save the potato starch that is clinging to the bottom of the bowl and to the cheesecloth.
  • Add potato/onion mixture, along with the potato starch to the egg/flour/onion in other bowl.Stir the batter until it is combined and sticky.
  • Preheat oven to 425*F. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and set it beside your stove top.
  • Heat 1/2 c vegetable oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Oil should be hot, but not smoking (about 375*F, but I don't use a thermometer). For each Latke, use approx 1/4 c of batter and flatten in your hand (or on a slotted spoon) into approx 2" disk, squeezing out any additional liquid. Using a slotted spoon, gently place Latkes into the hot oil. (Use one sacrificial Latke to make sure the oil temp is correct. If it's too low, they will be greasy and soggy, too high they will burn). Only cook about 4 Latkes at a time so you do not drop the oil temperature. Cook Latkes approx 4 minutes on each side. Place fried Latkes onto the wire rack.
  • Between batches, using a slotted spoon, remove any bits that may be forming in the bottom of the pan and discard. Add more oil if needed between batches, but be sure to let it rise to the correct temperature before starting another batch.
  • When completely done frying all the Latkes, place the baking sheet into the oven for approx 8 minutes to finish baking them until crisp and golden brown.
  • Garnish with Recipe #509843 and/or sour cream.
  • Enjoy!

2 tablespoons red cinnamon candies
1 1/2 cups cranberries
1 (3 ounce) package cranberry Jello gelatin
