APPLESAUCE
My late father only knew how to cook two dishes and this was one. The type of apples you use will determine how mushy your apple sauce turns out. Cooking apples will turn into the texture of commercial applesauce while others will keep their shape even after the cooking. Either way it's delicious. The recipe can easily be doubled (or tripled...or quadrupled) to serve a crowd.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Peel and core the apples: This will help the applesauce to cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
- Use fresh mint: Fresh mint will give the applesauce a bright, refreshing flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Add a touch of redcurrant jelly: Redcurrant jelly will add a tart, sweet flavor to the applesauce. If you don't have redcurrant jelly, you can use another type of fruit jelly, such as raspberry or strawberry.
- Cook the applesauce over low heat: This will help the applesauce to thicken and develop a rich flavor.
- Serve the applesauce warm or cold: Applesauce can be served warm as a side dish or dessert, or it can be chilled and served as a refreshing snack.
