Applesauce Anyone?

Well I decided to get domestic yesterday and make some homemade applesauce. I wanted to make it the way our Grandma D used too! I even got to use the utensils she used when making it. Brings back special memories of her cooking in her kitchen. She loved to cook and often prepared 3 hot meals a day for her family. They had a large bell on a single pole with a string that was rung at meal time. My husband and his siblings knew that no matter what, they were to promptly come home for dinner! Now these were the days mind you when children would play outdoors for hours after school with other neighborhood children. Yes, I was one of those barefoot, skinny children running recklessly outdoors and I will always treasure those simple and innocent days!

Grandma D's Homemade Applesauce

 1 bag of gala apples but you can use any apples you choose. Some apples are better cooking apples than others so I would do some research.
1. Wash apples and then place apples whole in pot, cover with water.
 **using whole apples allows you to get all the good healthy vitamins from the skins.
2. Bring to boil till very soft, I use a fork to test them.
3. Remove apples from pot while hot.
4. Place whole apples in a colander with a pan under it and mash them real good!
  **Skins will remain in colander but the sauce and all the good juices will go into pan.
I then add 2 teas of cinnamon and  1 cup sugar or you can be healthy and
organic like I was today and use Organic Agave Nectar. I used the light Agave!
You use 2/3 syrup to every 1 cup sugar! One bag of apples fills a 1 quart size mason
jar. Place it in the frig to get cold and then enjoy! It is yummy warm too!
There is nothing like fresh applesauce! Great on toast!
My grandchildren and children loved it and have already requested that I make more!
