How to make Homemade Applesauce using Kitchenaid food strainer

In this food from scratch tutorial, I will be making homemade apple sauce using Kitchenaid food strainer attachment and using simple home canning techniques.

For smaller quantities you can use a normal food mill operated by hand.
We used the kitchen aid food strainer attachment to give our elbows a little rest since we had a huge quantity of apples.

The principle is the same as any other canning methods.

Method :
Wash the apples and quarter them . Cook them with enough water to cover the apples.
Strain the apples and you can drink this sweet apple water. I cooled this water and stored them in the refrigerator and we drank them for about a week.
Pass all the cooked apples into a food mill ( or in this case a Kitchenaid food strainer attachment ) to remove the skin and the seeds.
We love our Kitchen gadgets at the Swiss home.

Since the sauce was cold by the time we finished processing. I heated the apple sauce with a little lemon juice before canning them.
Fill the glass jars leaving about 2 cm gap and wipe the excess off around the rims. Close them tightly and place all the filled jars in a hot water bath.
Boil them for 20 minutes. Lift them gently and place them on a wooden board for 24 hours. This trick is to avoid the jars from cracking when it comes in contact with a cold surface.
During that time you will hear the jars popping in and see a dent on the lid in a down position. This is an indication that the jars have sealed well.

You can store them without refrigerating for a year.

Homemade applesauce can be used in baking, in porridge, baby food and desserts.
This is a no sugar applesauce recipe, so you may have to vary the recipe if used for baking or in desserts.
