Homemade Applesauce Recipe
This homemade applesauce recipe doesn't require any measuring at all.  

 
Ingredients
3 cups apple juice, or water
8 cups apples, chopped
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
1. Peel, core, and cut apples into roughly 1" chunks.
2. Combine apples and apple juice (or water) in a large stock pot.
3. SHORTCUT: You can skip measuring the ingredients entirely and simply fill a pot with apple chunks. Add juice or water to a depth of about 2" and cook as directed.
4. Cover the pot and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally until apples become tender. Use a potato masher to break them up until your sauce reaches desired consistency.
5. Stir in cinnamon.
6. Serve warm or chilled.

I needed an easy recipe to make applesauce. Why buy when you can make it this good this fast? While this recipe doesn't specify, I had Granny Smith apples on hand and used those. I followed Instruction #3 and only used 5 apples, but I used all of the cinnamon called for. I love cinnamon and didn't overwhelm the sauce.

Cassoulet

While they are getting cool enough to place in the fridge, I will post the recipe here. As with the previous post regarding Bean Prep, this recipe also comes from the Northarvest. As will the next one. That's because, of the five recipes listed in it, these two are the only ones I ever really enjoyed. CASSOULET Ingredients: 1 Pound Navy Beans (or your own combination of beans equal to one pound) 1/2 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon Powder 5 Cups Water 4-5 Slices Bacon, diced 1 Medium Onion, diced 2 Carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces 1 Bay leaf 1 Tablespoon Parsley 1 Tablespoon Celery Leaves or seeds 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper (either ground or fresh grind) 1 Pound Polish (or Italian or Chicken Sausage)  1 1/2 Pounds Ham Directions: Soak beans. Drain beans; discard soak water...
