Applesauce - general principles of preparation

Applesauce is excellent for baby, dietary or medical nutrition, as it is well absorbed by the body, improves digestion and contains a lot of vitamins. Adding additional ingredients and seasonings to your applesauce (such as cream, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, etc.) will create a healthy and delicious dessert. Applesauce can be served either alone or with baked goods, pancakes, pancakes, toast or waffles. Sometimes applesauce is even added to meat and poultry dishes.

Apples go well with many other fruits, berries and vegetables. So, you can prepare delicious apple puree with the addition of carrots, pumpkin, peaches, apricots, bananas, pears, cherries, plums and other ingredients. Depending on the variety of apples used, the finished puree may have a different consistency, color and taste. The principle of preparing applesauce is very simple: the prepared fruits are cut, placed in a saucepan, filled with water and cooked until tender with the addition of sugar. If the puree is prepared for infants, sugar should not be added. Also, for the smallest children, fruits are sometimes not subjected to heat treatment, but are simply pureed in a blender until smooth (sometimes with the addition of other fruits or vegetables).

Applesauce is often prepared for the winter. To do this, the fruit mass is boiled and rolled into sterilized jars. Store jars in a cool, dark and well-ventilated area. The best canned applesauce is made from sour apples.

Apples contain a miraculous substance - pectin. It gently cleanses the human body, eliminates cholesterol, and helps the intestines. Most pectin is contained in the core, which is usually thrown away. When cooked, pectin goes into solution and this is incredibly useful. Making puree with a blender is easier than rubbing it through a sieve, but if you want to get the maximum benefit from the product, give up the technique. Cut the apples without removing the cores and grind them by hand. This dish looks different; it includes elements of natural jelly.

Advice from professional chefs

Before preparing apple puree, you need to choose the right main ingredient. Not only the quality of the finished product, but also its taste will depend on this. During the cooking process, it is important to take into account the advice of experienced chefs, helping beginners to avoid a large number of mistakes and make the most delicious and vitamin-rich delicacy. Among the many tips, it is worth paying attention to the following:

The main purpose of preparing applesauce is to preserve the maximum amount of nutrients. To do this, you need to heat the ingredients for a minimum amount of time. To prevent the fruits from remaining raw, they can be finely chopped or passed through a meat grinder.
It is best to prepare puree from sweet varieties of apples. They do not require as much sugar, which will result in a healthier product. The best option would be to use autumn varieties of apples or those that ripen at the end of August.
If the puree is made for a small child, then you should choose yellow or green apples. The use of red fruits can cause allergies and related problems.
To prepare delicacies, you should always take only the highest quality fruits. All rotten, spoiled or unripe fruits can spoil the puree and make it tasteless.
When choosing apples in the store, you should pay attention to their peel. It is often coated with wax to give the fruit an attractive appearance and shine. If you missed this point and bought waxed apples, then before preparing puree from them you need to cut off the skin.
Apples contain a large amount of iron, so when it comes into contact with air, it oxidizes and changes the color of the fruit pulp. To prevent this, you can sprinkle parts of the fruit with lemon juice immediately after cutting.
When preparing dessert for the winter, you need to use only perfectly washed and sterilized jars, as well as metal lids.
