Applesauce

Its getting cold, this means 1 thing, Applesauce! Like warm edible cider it makes me happy. I make a fruit syrup stock and then add apples and cook down. The lime and alcohol gives it a bit of a tangy kick and if your making it for children..... don't make it for children, no just cook on a higher heat.

Ingredients

2 cooking apples (like Bramleys) cut into large hunks
3 assorted eating apples (more variety=more flavour) cut into small pieces
handful of sultanas
3 tbsp agrave nectar
1 tbsp maple syrup
cap of apple brandy
squeeze of lime juice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
160ml cider

Directions
Heat the liquid ingredients with the spices and sultanas. Once warm add the eating apples and cover. Cook down for 10 mins on a low heat. Next add the cooking apple and cook for te more mins. Stir with a wooden spoon to break up the smaller pieces into a sauce. If its too thick you can add some apple juice. Serve with yogurt and maple syrup.

Playlist
Definitely tastes better when you cook to music..
