what is an applesauce cake? It sounds very good too. If you like thick & creamy & so yummy & it has very little sugar added too lol (carmels have the added sugar) but if I make plain which I am low so again will make more this fall I only add 1/2 cup of sugar to the whole pot. Above is one batch

I used Macintosh, Golden Delicious, Gala & Delicious apples cut & peel & pit. I use the old fashion crank to this all in one I add about 1 cup water to a full stock pot & process all the apples till soft & for this batch I added a bag of Brach's Creamy Caramels then use the processor to grind them very fine as I like applesauce very smooth not chunky & I add nutmeg cinnamon & ground ginger & can according to your favorite method. I boil to reduce some & then place in sterilized jars. Once you hear the pop you know there done bu t I leave them on the counter undisturbed for 48 hours. I have to say my applesauce is very thick & very smooth it really does taste very good. So much better then the loose stuff sold @ the stores. I hope that you give it a try. ~hugs~

wow that is terrific homemade peanutbutter wow YUM! good for you & pear preserves YUMMY too, thank you for sharing. ~hugs~

it really is very good & thank you ~hugs~

thankfully JerriLynn has added a picture of my crank. Your definitions sound like NOT the perfect helper in my kitchen lol ~hugs~

oh wow that is a very good idea I will have to try to remember to buy extra in the new year so I can try this too, I gave the rest of my zucchini to my youngest & she is going to make some zucchini relish too. I have not had it so am looking forward to trying it too. Thanks Jan ~hugs~

Yes mine is red but this is the same crank I have had for a very long time lol, there are not very many calories in this so go right ahead & enjoy it lol ~hugs~

it really is so very good & thick & creamy too, come on over & try some if your ever over here in Ontario Canada, (if there is any left lol)~hugs~

thank you Lillian ~hugs~

your very welcome & thank you too ~hugs~

AH Thank you Lidia & if you were here I would have you over for a cuppa & try some sauce too. ~hugs~

oh that is good Karen I do hope that you will share here if you make some too. Thank you ~hugs~

THAT'S QUITE WONDERFUL! My MIL canned back int he day so I thought I would try it too & I love canning my own jams & preserves. Your quite right that it tastes like no other & doesn't compare to store bought. We know exactly what is in it too & better yet we can pronounce it all too lol. Good for you too do this for so long myself I have been canning close to 40 years so with God's help ( & Hubs) I will continue as long as I can CAN lol ~hugs~

oh wow these all sound wonderful. I just tried my hand (with my youngest daughter's help) @ Zucchini Relish & Salsa so I hope that it turns out well. Thank you for sharing ~hugs~

I had just the right amount of jars this time & it worked out perfectly with only a spoonful or two left over, your welcome over any time. ~hugs~

Lynn they are yummy I have to make more lol thanks ~hugs~

Sandy it's funny that you say this because I just learned that my daughter made ketchup Zucchini I think & I am looking forward to trying it too. How did yours turn out yes better then expected I think. ~hugs~

yes I always have & they work well if the seal is still intact. To buy new jars is very expensive so when I give any as gifts I always say if you give the jar back you will get another if you don't I won't remember to give out anymore to them. It helps me keep track of who likes what too. Thanks Kay & I do it because I love to can. ~hugs~

oh wow I never heard of honey butter.... bee that's sweet lol thanks my friend ~hugs~
