Applesauce
20 pounds apples, cored and sliced
2 cups apple juice, apple cider or water
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Place cored and sliced apples and the 2 cups of liquid in a large stockpot, and cook the apples until they're soft and mushy, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Using a food processor or stick blender, blend the apples until you reach the consistency you want. I like smooth applesauce, so I blended for approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, and stir the apple mixture until everything is well combined.
Pour hot applesauce into sterilized, hot pint jars. Process in a water bath canner for 20 minutes.
Yield: 13 pints
