This is for Jolene who wanted applesauce. It's real simple.


Pressure Cooker Apple Sauce

Apples
Sugar
Water

I must assume that you have a pressure cooker. Peel, core and chop
apples. You don't have to chop them small. In fact I always just cut
them in half. Put them into a pressure cooker with a minimal amount of
water. Less than 1/4 cup actually. Add about 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Bring
the pressure cooker up to ten pounds. Keep it at ten pounds for ten
minutes. Take off the burner and let it cool or set it in the sink and
run cold water over it to reduce the pressure inside. When you remove
the lid the apples will be in the same shape as when you put them in.
Take a potato masher and run it through the apples. They will simply
melt when you stir them. Taste for sweetness and if needed, add more
sugar. The fruit is hot enough to cook the additional sugar. Put into
hot canning jars and seal. I usually froze mine. It freezes well for up
to one year. Be sure to hot bath them when you get them all in the jars
and sealed. Of course if you freeze it you can omit all of the canning
part.
