Save the skins and cores in the freezer to make jelly later. I actually leave the skins on most of my apples when I do sauce. I don't add spices...but might now that you mentioned it! It sounds good :) SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901352933618729952.post-42916634389736205332012-10-13T12:51:29.427-05:002012-10-13T12:51:29.427-05:00Great question!

We make applesauce with Ida Red apples that we pick up here in Wisconsin and their beautiful red skins are the only color we use in our applesauce. I applaud you for not adding Red Hots. :-) When I make applesauce I use a food mill to separate the skins from the pulp. <br /><br />So glad I found your beautiful blog!<br />HeatherHeather at Farm to Forkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801327927012709777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901352933618729952.post-24229908121548665122011-11-28T09:10:22.192-06:002011-11-28T09:10:22.192-06:00Lea ~ Thank you for reminding me!

What a great and delicious (looking and smelling) post! Thank you for sharing :) I agree that it is best not to add red hots...we used to do those kinds of additives, but we started to get sick more often. No more. I'm a plain jane, too! I can't wait to get to know you through your blog and your link-ups. I like to read each entry and comment, but it gets harder and harder. LOL But I enjoy it os much!

That's a whole separate post by itself, which I hope to get to now that things have slowed down.<br /><br />Jo~ we are only 20 minutes away from Laura Ingalls Wilder's home so that's funny you should say that! I wondered about putting the apples through the blender to take care of the peels, thank you for verifying that for me! I put my tomatoes through the blender with the peels before cooking them down for sauce, so I thought it would work for the apples too, but I didn't try it. I LOVE great advice!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266816805551915978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901352933618729952.post-51207220808086585962011-10-23T00:21:20.343-05:002011-10-23T00:21:20.343-05:00I love your name and think of "Little House o...I love your name and think of "Little House on the Prairie" when I see it.

I'd highly recommend visiting the Ozark Folk Center in Arkansas and the Glade Top Trail south of Ava, MO this time of year!
