Blueberry Applesauce (Vegitarian Friendly) Recipe

Name: Blueberry Applesauce (Vegitarian Friendly)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 lb apple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks; heaping 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen blueberries which don't have to be thawed); 1 small cinnamon stick; 1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses; 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice or 1/4 cup water; 1/4 teaspoon almond extract; 2 tablespoons honey, to taste (I used local blackberry honey); 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, to taste

Servings: persons

1
Place the apples, blueberries, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses and apple juice (or water) into a deep, heavy sauce pan.
2
Cover and bring to a boil.
3
Lower heat to simmer and cook until apples are very tender and the blueberries have dissolved and become saucy.
4
Set aside to cool.
5
Remove cinnamon stick. Puree the sauce to desired consistency either in a food processor or blender. Or-very carefully puree using an immersion blender. Be careful not to burn yourself because it hurts when the applesauce splatters!
6
Transfer to a storage container. Stir in the almond extract.
7
Taste the applesauce and if you think it needs sugar, go ahead and add some to desired sweetness.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
