I went to make a smoothie this morning, only to discover I had no blueberries or bananas left...but TONS of apples! I vaguely remember reading a variation of the recipe i came up with, somewhere, but have no idea where...anyways, what i came up with was INCREDIBLE!!! & we have a million variations planned, & it was a really nice change from smoothies...& soooo filling! Best applesauce either of us had EVER had! Hannah was amazed at how much better it was than commercially prepared stuff! (Not me...I knew it would be!) I would've posted a picture, but we ate it all before I thought of it! Hannah said we could easily sell it, & i know I'd feel comfortable serving it to company! It'd be great over oatmeal, too...(for those still eating that!)
~Apple-Rhubarb sauce~
**************************
~Enough apples to almost fill the blender (we have a big one, so i think it was 9 or 10!)
~About one cup of frozen rhubarb (from a friend's garden) (or any other fruit, that's just what we had, & i threw it in to get it cold! Ice would work, too, but not too much! Or stick it in the fridge or freezer awhile after it's done!)
~ 1 lemon (to keep the apples from browning, & it gave it a nice mild tartness!)
~cinnamon (lots, but not too much!)
~Real vanilla extract, (though i used some vanilla syryp)
~about 1/4 cup of pure water
After blending it (took awhile, i kept the peels on), let it sit a bit, {it thickens fairly quickly, we discovered between the first bowl & the 2nd...} Next time, we're going to put frozen blueberries on top! & we can't wait to try it with peaches!
We need to keep trying new recipes, & find a variety we'll want to use repeatedly, because it sure keeps us enthusiastic about raw! I know that simple eating is the best, easier to digest, but right now, I just need a few months of consistancy under my belt before I can keep it simple daily! That, & more applesauce! {If I had enough apples, I'd make more for lunch!!!}
