Easy Rhubarb Applesauce
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 apples (I used Pink Lady apples but your favorite tart apple will work just fine)
- 1 lb rhubarb (try to choose skinnier stalks if possible, the pinker the better!)
- 3 cups of apple juice (100% real apple juice, no junk added)
Instructions
- Peel and core your apples and cut them up — don’t worry about size or shape. Throw them into your favorite pasta pot. Wash the rhubarb and cut into small pieces, again, disregarding the need for uniformity. Pour the apple juice over, put the lid on, and cook over medium heat for about 30-40 minutes until your apples are falling apart and the rhubarb is soft. Mash with a potato masher or wooden spoon to break into small pieces.
- You can call it quits at this point if you like. Chunks of apple and rhubarb mixed all together…this is what we call yummy and rustic.
- If you want it to be thicker, continue to simmer for 10-15 more minutes but leave the top off of the pot.
Notes
1. If you or others in your household are finicky about texture, you can whirl the mixture in your blender or food processor to make a smooth and creamy sauce.
2. The Rhubarb is sour but the apple juice naturally sweetens this sauce. If you like a sweeter rhubarb sauce, you can always add sugar or honey to your liking. Taste it before you sweeten though, because you may enjoy it’s not-to-sweet flavor more than you thought.
