In today’s world there are more conveinence foods than the average person can count. Every can, jar, bottle, tube or frozen container is full of preservatives, additives or some form of chemical. As most of you know I DO NOT do any of the above. Our entire meals are made from scratch, a fact that according to my oncologist saved my life. So it’s no wonder I love simple, old recipes! This picture does NOT do this recipe justice!
HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE
10 Honey Crisp apples, washed, peeled, cored and chopped
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
2 lemons, juiced

I like the applesauce warm, but it’s great warm or cold!
*I like to use a large, but shirt stock pot so more of the applesauce touches the pan.
What better way to celebrate the fourth than with a good old fashioned apple pie? Nope, the perfect combination is apples and blackberries – sweet and tangy. Your taste buds will be in HEAVEN.
