Making and freezing applesauce

Background

🍏 Save Fridge: up to 3 days in a sealed jar. Freeze: 8-10 months in tightly sealed boxes or bags. Always leave some space to allow the applesauce to expand when freezing. Freeze in portions: useful for meals or as a small addition to sauces → use ice cube moulds if necessary. 🍽️ When used Defrost: defrost slowly in the fridge. Serve: cold, at room temperature or reheat gently in a saucepan. Finish: to taste, add another knob of butter, some sugar or a pinch of cinnamon just before serving. Adjust texture: mix again briefly smooth after thawing if the texture has changed slightly. 💡 Tips Combine different apple varieties for a richer flavour. A dash of lemon juice helps prevent discoloration. For an extra twist: spice with ginger, star anise or vanilla. Do you like a more rustic applesauce? Leave the skin on and blend coarsely, which adds more fiber and a fuller flavour.
