Categories     condiment

Time 1h35m

Yield about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pounds assorted apples, such as Golden Delicious, Gala, Honeycrisp or McIntosh (about 8), peeled, cored and chopped
1/4 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
  • Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and have a deep red color. Avoid cranberries that are soft, bruised, or have any mold.
  • Prepare the cranberries: Before cooking, rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a variety of apples: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Add spices and sugar to taste: The amount of spices and sugar you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat: Cran-apple sauce should be cooked over low heat to prevent it from burning.
  • Let the sauce cool before serving: Once the sauce has cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to thicken the sauce and allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Cran-apple sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is a great way to use up fresh cranberries and apples, and it can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for later use. Whether you are serving it with turkey, chicken, pork, or even pancakes, cran-apple sauce is sure to be a hit.
