Instructions
- Put everything in a large Dutch oven or stainless steel pot and give it a good stir. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring often.
- Turn the heat down and let the mixture boil for about 20-25 minutes, stirring often. You want the fruit to break down and soften. Let cool for several minutes before proceeding.
- Working in 2 or 3 batches (depending on the size of your processor or blender) blend the mixture until smooth. I find a food processor works best for this. The sauce won't have any lumps, but will retain some texture. Note: Use caution when pureeing hot foods.
- Taste your applesauce and add a bit of fresh lemon juice if you think it needs it.
- Transfer the applesauce to your storage jars and allow to cool completely before capping and refrigerating.
- Your homemade rhubarb applesauce will last about a week. Freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- *I peeled my apples because I didn't want the green color to interfere with the pretty pink of the rhubarb. If your apples are red skinned and you'd like to keep the peel on, you can.
- **If you use a sweeter variety of apple you may be able to reduce or omit the sugar.
