Ingredients:

6 apples
1380g
4 cups strawberries
600g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples:
- Wash and peel the apples.
- Core the apples and cut them into small chunks.
2. Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly.
- Hull the strawberries (remove the green stems).
- Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
3. Cook the Apples and Strawberries:
- Place the apple chunks in a large saucepan.
- Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan (about 1/4 cup).
- Cover the saucepan and cook the apples over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
- Add the strawberries to the saucepan.
- Stir well and cover again.
- Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until both the apples and strawberries are soft and tender.
4. Blend the Mixture:
- Remove the saucepan from heat.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth, or transfer the cooked fruit mixture to a blender in batches to puree until smooth. Make sure to blend carefully if the mixture is still hot.
5. Adjust Consistency (Optional):
- If the applesauce is too thick, you can add a little water or apple juice to reach your desired consistency.
- For a chunkier texture, you can mash the mixture with a potato masher instead of using a blender.
6. Taste and Sweeten (Optional):
- Taste your strawberry applesauce. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add honey, maple syrup, or sugar to your liking. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
7. Cool and Store:
- Let the strawberry applesauce cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the applesauce to airtight containers.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to six months.

Tips:

- Choose the right apples.: Different apple varieties provide different flavors and textures. For a naturally sweet applesauce, opt for Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala apples.

- Hulled strawberries for the best results.: Make sure to hull and slice the strawberries to ensure they blend smoothly with the apples.

- Add a splash of lemon juice.: A teaspoon of lemon juice can help preserve the color of the applesauce and add a hint of tartness.

- Adjust sweetness to taste.: Taste the applesauce before finishing and add a bit of honey or sugar if desired. However, natural sweetness from the fruits is often sufficient.

- Blend to desired consistency.: For a chunky texture, mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher. For a smooth consistency, use a blender or food processor.
