This time I decided to flavor it with pomegranate juice since I had 1/2 a bottle of it in the fridge. Plus isn't pomegranate really good for you? Since the juice already has quite a bit of sugars in it we added less than we did in the Ginger Peach Applesauce. The juice really makes this sauce a pretty pink color & gives the applesauce I nice little tang.
(look at the difference in color from the Ginger Peach version)
Pomegranate Apple Sauce
3 lbs apples (we used Haralson), peeled, cored & sliced
1 c pomegranate juice
1/4 c sugar
In a large soup pot or dutch oven melt the sugar in the pomegranate juice over medium-low heat. Add the apples & cover. Allow to cook at a low temperature until the apples break down, 20 - 40 minutes. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the apples from time to time throughout the cooking. Cooking time will vary based on how smooth you want your applesauce.
Matt likes it on oatmeal for breakfast.
that is so pretty!! I was just thinking about making some applesauce this weekend...
ReplyDeleteI love pomegranite - this sounds really good
ReplyDeleteMMmmm. I love your applesauce makin' skills! And happy anniversary to you and Matt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love the color too. Maybe I'll run out and raid that apple tree I've been threatening to and make some of this tomorrow.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely combination of flavors and colors--this would really dress up a lot of foods. excellent.
ReplyDeleteAdding that pomegranate is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAdding that extra bit of colour and flavour is a great idea. I love MacIntosh apples for applesauce.
ReplyDeleteI use MacIntosh too. They melt down so easily. I love this idea with the pomegranate. Okay I will say it again. You have great ideas Kat.
ReplyDeleteNice.. Healthy healthy stuff. I hate dissecting pomegranates so I'll pick up the juice as you suggest in the recipe.
