Peachy Applesauce Salad Recipes

EASIEST PEACH-APPLESAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add apples and peaches to a large stockpot. I like to add half and half apples to peaches ratio to the pot or 1/3 peaches to 2/3 apples. It's up to your preference!
• Let simmer and soften about 30 minutes. Stir the pot frequently to keep the mixture from burning.
• Process apples and peaches through a food mill or large food strainer to remove skins and apple seeds.
• Add the sauce back into the large stockpot.
• Ladle into quart jars and process in a water bath canner for 20 minutes. Let cool overnight and transfer to storage. Don't forget to label your jars!

HOMEMADE PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• If have a food mill or want to keep the skins on just core/pit the peaches and apples. Otherwise peel them first before removing the core/pit.
• Quarter the peaches and apples and add to the Instant Pot
• Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pot about 1/3 to 1/2 of cup.
• Set to high pressure for 5 minutes. Seal the pot.
• Allow the pot to naturally release before opening.
• If using a food mill, run through the food mill now, over top a bowl.
• Once cooled enough to taste, check for sweetness. Add honey or sugar if desired.
• If sauce is too thin, put back in the Instant Pot and hit the saute bottom. Don't walk awake. Stir the sauce regularly until the desired consistency.

PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• I start out peeling/cutting apples using my apple peeler/slicer/corer device. As I take them off the device, I put them in a bowl, sprinkle lemon juice and fruit fresh. I keep doing this until I have enough to start my batch of applesauce.
• Next I put 2 cans of peaches with their juices, some of the apples and blend in a blender at one of the higher speeds.
• You may not need sugar. I omitted it the last time I made the applesauce.
• Play it by ear also if you think you need water.
• Pour into crockpot or dutch oven.
• Note: I do several different batches, so I'm cooking one batch on the stove in my dutch oven on medium high heat/medium and one in the crock pot. I cook it long enough to be hot enough to pour into canning jars.
• Repeat blending process with what's left of your apples and peaches.
• Pour into crock pot or dutch oven.
• Add vanilla extract, ground ginger.
• Add optional cinnamon. I used my Korintje cinnamon. You'll have to taste it and see if you want to add cinnamon.
• If adding sugar, now's the time to add.
• Meanwhile wash canning jars, lids, and bands.
• Sterilize in hot water bath.
• Then take out a few jars at a time, pour applesauce in jars. Put lids and bands on, screw tight, place in water bath for 25 minutes.
• Take out, make sure lids have sealed by pressing lid. I listen for popping sounds and count. If I come across a jar or two that didn't seal, I'll rebath them or even put in a clean jar with new lid. Read your canning instructions that come with jars.
