Savory Applesauce Recipe
- 10 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 8 pieces each
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 (1-inch) pieces fresh ginger, peeled
- 3 whole cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh savory
- In large, heavy-bottomed stock pot, combine apples, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, cloves, and 1 cup water. Cover and set over high heat. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to moderate and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and blend with whisk, breaking up any remaining apple pieces. Pass through ricer, food mill, or fine-mesh strainer. While applesauce is still warm, stir in sprigs of savory. Let applesauce cool, then remove savory before serving.
