What kind of applesauce should I buy?

[musicsdarkangel]

I have recently discovered a new passion for applesauce.


The jewel brand is good, so I can only imagine what other brands would be great.


Anyone a fanatic?

Let's use this thread as a salute to applesauce and all of the good times it has given us.

I'm not a fanatic, but I like Mott's.

I am a fanatic, and I love motts.  I inhale probably 1.5 jugs a week

I'm actually a bit of a fanatic, but I make my own.  It's sooooo good and very easy !!  Try it and you'll never go back

I don't know how to make applesauce and now I'm curious.  How do you do it?  Of course , could find out with a little research, but who wants to do that?

[BoliverAllmon]

ever tried the other flavors of applesauce?

dear thalberg,

get yourself a pressure cooker.  they make applesauce fast.  and, really good ribs, too.  pressure cooked and then bbq'd.  some let you put layers of stuff in, so you can cook several things at once.  we bought one a while back and used it a lot.  so much, it's pretty gone.  if i bought one again, it would be larger size.

You can make applesauce in the microwave. Peel and core the apples and cut into chunks. Put into a microwaveable bowl, cover,  and nuke until soft, then mash. Or, you can make it on the stove, in which case you need to add a little water, cook over low heat, and stir frequently to prevent it from burning.  If you want sugar, add it after it's cooled (you'll be able to taste the right amount when it's cool better than when it's hot).

Variation: add a little lemon rind and a small piece of cinnamon stick before cooking (remove the cinnamon before mashing). Also really good with pears!
