Super Simple Kosher Homemade Applesauce: Made Easy With No Special Equipment or Complicated Procedures

Applesauce is a favorite among children and adults alike. Some homemade applesauce recipes require special equipment, complicated and time consuming procedures and seem to be more of a hassle then it is worth. However, fresh homemade applesauce can be made very easily in small batches with no special equipment and in less than half an hour. And the best part? It’s Super Simple and Kosher Too!

There are many benefits to making your own applesauce. You can have fresh applesauce any time of the year; however it is best when apples are in season. Applesauce can be made with any apple variety as each variety has its own unique flavor. Making fresh applesauce ensures a fresh product without any unnecessary additives. Important nutrients are retained due to the minimal processing required.

How to Make Super Simple Kosher Homemade Applesauce

  1. Choose only fresh apples preferably while in season. Apples that have been flash frozen for storage do not have the same fresh flavor.
  2. The amount of apples used will depend on the amount of applesauce being made.
  3. Wash apples well with soap and cold water to remove dirt, germs, bugs and other impurities.
  4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and carefully place who apples into the pot. Cover, reduce heat and simmer.
  5. Alternatively, for added nutrition, apples can be steamed instead of boiled.
  6. Apples are ready when the skins crack and change color. The apples will be soft.
  7. Remove apples from the water and immediately run through a food mill.
  8. Alternatively, cool slightly and smash and press apples through a colander or sieve to remove skins and seeds.
  9. Discard seeds and peels. The remaining pulp is pure applesauce ready to be served.

Serving Suggestions for Kosher Homemade Applesauce

  • Serve immediately as is for a warm treat, or over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Refrigerate and serve cold.
  • For added sweetness, sugar may be added to warm applesauce.
  • Add cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice or cloves to warm applesauce for added flavor.
  • Add mashed blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries or other berries to the apple puree.
  • Cook an equal amount of peaches with the apples and process together.
  • Unused applesauce should be refrigerated and eaten within a couple days.
  • Applesauce can be made in larger quantities and preserved for later use by storing in freezer containers, frozen and thawed before use. Boiling water canning methods also work well for applesauce and can be stored for a longer period of time. However, fresh applesauce is preferred whenever possible.

Air Condition Your Garden

July, it is the time of the year when air conditioning is as important in the garden as it is in the home. You, as the temperature rises, can cool off with an electric fan, a cool drink or by hiding away in a cool spot. Your plants are not quite that lucky; yet certain gardening techniques can be employed to help your plants through the summer months. The benefits of air conditioning in your garden will show up in the form of increased production, greater resistance to disease and pests and, in general, a more attractive vista. An improper over-heated environment during the warmer months often leads to wilt, dropping of buds and yellowing of foliage. Aeration of the soil is concerned with its exposure to the air. If this is lacking then your plants very likely will suffer this summer. Believe it or not but there are millions of tiny spaces between the soil particles and this is where air resides. Soils that become water-logged force out this air, a condition that leads to souring of ...

Plumbing Noises In Your Home: Your Pipes are talking to you

To diagnose plumbing noises, it is important to determine first whether the unwanted sounds occur on the system’s inlet side-in other words, when water is turned on-or on the drain side. Noises on the inlet side have varied causes: excessive water pressure, worn valve and faucet parts, improperly connected pumps or other appliances, incorrectly placed pipe fasteners, and plumbing runs containing too many tight bends or other restrictions. Noises on the drain side usually stem from poor location or, as with some inlet side noise, a layout containing tight bends.   Common Plumbing Noises Hissing Pipes Hissing noise that occurs when a faucet is opened slightly, generally signals excessive water pressure. Consult your local water company if you suspect this problem; it will be able to tell you the water pressure in your area and can install a pressure reducing valve on the incoming water supply pipe if necessary. Thudding Pipes Thudding noise, often accompanied by shuddering pipe...

How to Save Your Own Set of Seeds

Saving seeds doesn’t have to be a frightening task and can even be absolutely easy, according to Fred Bove of the San Francisco Permaculture Guild . Instead of waiting for the last riffraff plants to flower, he instructs to look for the biggest, most colorful specimens that were among the first few plants to become ripe. He urges to resist harvesting the first beautiful flower, vegetable or herb of any one planting, and allow full maturity. “You want to save the best characteristics (of any plant) and pass them on,” explained Bove. Depending on the plant, you may want to select for size, flavor or how quickly it takes for the crop to reach maturity. “That way, you’re promoting the desired characteristics in the next generation of seeds.” The next important challenging task is identifying a seed that’s ready for saving. There are different ways to save seeds, depending on the variety. Plants in the apiaceae family, which includes parsley, fennel and cilantro, will bloom and form umbr...
