Applesauce!

My family is addicted to applesauce.  When apples go on sale super cheap (89 cents a pound....yes anyone from the lower 48s...that is cheap for Alaska)...we buy out the store...litterally.  I went in and they were just unloading the truck.  I bought every last apple they had (of the ones on sale).  Total this year we canned about 100lbs of apples.  This picture only shows about 40 lbs of canned apples.  I recommend trying to make your own applesauce.  The greatest thing about homemade is there is NO sugar or preservatives.  I priced it out and it is cheaper to make it than to buy it.  So why buy it when it tastes so much better homemade!  Recipe:
Apples (try any baking apples such as Braeburn, Gala, Fuji....buy several kinds to make a better flavored applesauce).
Water (enough to fill 1 inch in the bottom of the pan)
Nutmeg and Cinnamon to taste

Peel, slice and core apples.  Place in pan and fill pan with 1 inch of water.  Put lid on pan and boil at medium heat.  Stir often.  When apples are very tender mash with a potato masher.  If you prefer smooth applesauce then blend with a hand blender.  Season with nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. Can with a hot bath process.
