There is nothing better than making your own sauce...Since I started making my own sauces, I have kept away from store-bought ones. I made apple sauce and am glad I did... I was weighed down by the thought of peeling,coring and chopping...All that seemed oblivious when I had a taste of this treat...
I followed this, but adapted it to my taste.
What you need for the sauce are:
500 g apples, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp Honey (
Adjust according to taste. You could use either sugar or honey)
2 tbsps
Water
4 Cloves
1" Cinnamon Stick
1tsp Lemon Zest
salt
In a pan, add the chopped apples, sugar, honey,water, spices, zest and boil. Simmer until the apples turn soft. Remove the spices, zest if you can and discard them.
Mash with a wooden spoon to smoothen it. If you want a very smooth consistency,run this in a blender and your treat is ready!
My Mother on the other hand makes the apple sauce with the peels on and that lent the sauce a pale pink colour.. She even added some butter for a smoother and silkier sauce.
Apple sauce looks so yumm, i make the same way except i have not added honey to it, will try to add honey next time
