I get fresh & organic fruits, vegetables, & herbs from Abundant harvest. I love it. I don't have to figure out whats in season. It's all done for me. I just have to figure out what to do with everything. We didn't like the granny smith apples to just eat them, as the skin is to tough. I know they are great for pies. My son love applesauce, so I fount a recipe & thought I'd give it a try.
The recipe called for, cutting the apple in chunks after peeling & coring them.
I quickly figured out, that just took to long for me & remembered I have one of those wonderful gadgets, Apple peeler, corer, slicer. Yes all in on shot. here is a photo with them finished slicing them all, & with the rest of the ingredients added. I used agave nectar, you couldn't tell the difference when it was all done.
Look at it bubbilling. Mmmmmm!!!! It smells so good!! :) Still allot of chunks. I'll let it go a little longer.
That looks good to me.
Here it is all done. Yummy! My son didn't like the cinnamon in it, next time I'll try leaving that out.
