Homemade Apple Sauce

It's easy to pick pounds and pounds of apples and not know what to do with all of them. An apple a day doesn't even dent the surplus that results from a day picking apples upstate. So, we peeled and sliced up the mostly Green Delicious apples and boiled them in a pot with water and cinnamon. A little lemon keeps them from browning too much. Once they're cooked to a soggy mush, run the apples through a food grinder.The result is a lot of applesauce. This is only about half the jars that were added to our freezer. So far the apple sauce has served as a complement to chicken pot pie and a marinade for pork cooked in the oven. There is plenty left.
