My mother-in-law told me I should have cored the apples before cooking them. I'm glad you leave the core in as well -- it saves a lot of time. I must admit the seeds at time do clog up the mill, though. Wish we were getting apples this time of year, they are our boys' favorite. Instead, we are picking strawberries in our patch (5 gallons so far), and the raspberries will be ready soon.

That way, the peels end up in the applesauce, adding all their extra vitamins and fiber. You can't see or taste the peels at all... but I like knowing they are in there! =) I'm not sure if there is less "waste" than using the food mill. That would be an interesting comparison.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your sauce!Brenda on the S OR Coasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167479739607662663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18354646.post-88402406905010474242008-07-10T10:42:00.000-05:002008-07-10T10:42:00.000-05:00I use redhots in my apple dumplings and I agree th...I use redhots in my apple dumplings and I agree they are great!motherofmanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04877187218514833866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18354646.post-38407361153533207832008-07-10T09:08:00.000-05:002008-07-10T09:08:00.000-05:00Julie, if you are ever at a garage sale and you se...Julie, if you are ever at a garage sale and you see a Squeezo strainer or a Victorio type strainer, get it. For tomatoes or apples they can't be beat. Same thing, you wash and quarter the apples, and cook until soft. Then you put apples in the hopper and start turning. The apple sauce comes out the screen and all the other stuff comes out at the other end (chickens, pigs and goats love that stuff). You can do the same with tomatoes to get sauce. Also, another thought... Try some different apples together. Put some sweeter ones in. Then you don't need to add any sugar. I used to put up 3 bushels worth of apple sauce every year. I would use the apple sauce in place of the oil in my bread, pancakes and muffins. Makes them fat free and delicious. With Josh working full time and getting ready to leave after he gets married in October, I won't need to do nearly as much. =( Man, it is coming quicker than I want.Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837798938089334872noreply@blogger.com
