Organic Wild Apple Applesauce

I like my projects simple and this is very simple apples water cook and freeze. You can make a day of it with the family going out to the country picking apples and preparing them.

Wild apples are the best and cheapest source for organically grown apples; I can never trust store bought produce to be 100% organic. My wife and my oldest son are diabetic, unsweetened deserts are hard to find as well as expensive so I make organic treats for my family. Yes my wife is very happy she married a man that cooks.

Notes

1. This recipe incorporates a technique for coring and peeling the apples that saves hours on preparing the apples for cooking.

2. Red apples can bleed the red colour into your sauce, if you want your applesauce to be white, use yellow or green apples.

3. If you find the applesauce a little tart you can add artificial sweetener or sugar to taste.

4. I normally put the sauce in freezer safe containers and freeze; I do on occasion bottle for gifts.

5. If you bottle the sauce do sterilise the bottles; I will assume you know how to sterilise bottles for this recipe.

The benefits of fruits and vegetables are numerous and well known.
The benefits of wild fruits and vegetables are numerous but not as well known.
Wild fruits and vegetables are just as nutritious as cultivated fruits and vegetables, however there is one difference, wild fruits and vegetables in all probability have never been sprayed with pesticide or fed chemical fertiliser.
Since they are wild they are free to pick so the price is right.

Wild apples grow all over where I live in southern Ontario.
MacIntosh Apples were wild apples.

History
Every McIntosh apple has a direct lineage to a single tree discovered in 1811 by John McIntosh on his farm in Dundela, a hamlet near Morrisburg, in Dundas County, Ontario, Canada. He discovered the tree as one of 20 apple seedlings while clearing the farm, which he had just purchased. He transplanted the seedlings, cultivated them, and only one of them was still alive by 1830. The surviving apple tree lived until 1906. The oldest surviving descendant also died on the 25th July, 2011.
