Apple Juice and Apple Sauce

Agape Goon — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:00:38 +0000

Apple Juice – may be frozen, but should not be sweetened as fermentation sets in quickly. It is best made in the proportion of 1/2 pint water to 2 Ib apples or it can be made by simmering leftover peelings in water. The juice should be strained through a jelly bag or cloth, and cooled completely before freezing. It may be frozen in a rigid container, leaving 1/2 in headspace or in a loaf tin or ice cube trays, the frozen blocks then being wrapped in foil or polythene for easy storage.

Apple Sauce – Cook the apples to a pulp with a minimum of water. For the best flavour, this should be done in a casserole in the oven, using sluced but unpeeled apples. Sieve the sauce and sweeten to taste, adding a squeeze of lemon juice. Cool and pack into rigid containers, leaving 1/2 in headspace. Thaw for 3 hours at room temperature. Storage time : 1 year.
