Day 12. Applesauce


               1 hour in..             A tad browner 4 hours in..         Off to the blender..

And we have applesauce!
One day we were sitting in our house when we were startled by a gigantic crashing sound.   Our beloved backyard apple tree had keeled over, trunk split in half and with 300 apples still on the tree.  I paid my last respects - to the tree that had dutifully provided me many a shady afternoon in my youth - by using every single one of its apples. That was my first experience making homemade applesauce, and the several bottles that I froze lasted us a year!

Now, I would buy applesauce from Trader Joe's. The ingredients list only apples, but cannot vouch if this brand is SCD-legal
