It seems as though we only eat applesauce around Thanksgiving, but there’s no reason for that! Apples are still in abundance, and a good savory applesauce is both easy and extremely versatile. This would be great to dress up a pork dish, with crispy potatoes, or on its own
Adapted from Epicurious
Serves 6
10 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 8 pieces each
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Sweet Ginger Saucey Sauce
2 pieces fresh ginger, peeled
3 whole cloves
2 sprigs fresh savory
Method
- Combine apples, sugar, lemon juice, Sweet Ginger Saucey Sauce, ginger, cloves and 1 cup of water
- Cover and set over high heat. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft. This should take about 30minutes
- Remove from heat and whisk, breaking up any apple pieces. Pass through ricer or fine-mesh strainer
- While applesauce is still warm, stir in sprigs of savory. Remove before serving
