- Have a big bowl of cold, salted water ready (to keep the fruit from discoloring).
- Peel and core 8-10 apples (Grandma Nell swears by Gravenstein).
- Cut into chunks, keep apples in the salted water while you're chopping.
- Transfer apple chunks to a stockpot, add 3/4 cup water, a pinch of salt and 1/3 cup sugar.
- Cook until mushy and dump into jars or any airtight container.
Orchards In Western Washington
Lindsay and I took the kids to an orchard, so we have apples-a-plenty. Can't wait to make this with the girls! I found some great apple activities online, too. Here's a link to an apple coloring page, and I found Disney's old Johnny Appleseed movie on YouTube, Part 1 and Part 2.
The kiddos at the orchard we visited in Olympia. Never saw the apple trees but brought home some yummy apples to make sauce tonight! |
