10 mins prep. time 30 mins cooking time What you need: Apples Caster sugar Butter | Making apple juice and apple sauce is surprisingly easy and, if you live by apple tress, unbelievably cheap. I picked some apples from our local apple tree, skinned and cored them and cut them into quarters. I put them in a large pan and put enough water in the pan to just cover the apples. I put them on a low heat and left them. I kept checking on them When the apples because mushy I sprinkled on a generous amount of caster sugar, mixed in and heated for another 2 minutes. Using a fine sieve, I sieved the mixture into another saucepan. This is your apple juice. The remainder of the pulp got put back in the original saucepan and reheat. I continued to sieve at 5 minute intervals until no more juice was being produced. After the juice separated cooled I stored in a bottle. To drink add lemonade - it tastes better than with water. Now, the apple sauce. Add butter to the remaining pulp until it reaches a consistency that you're happy with. Now you've made apple sauce ready to go with your pork roast! |
