APPLE SAUCE

Traditionally we eat Pork accompanied by apple sauce. If you
want to go back to the days when sauces were not bought in shops
but from local produce grown in your garden then try this recipe.
It is easy to make. There are no preservatives so it will not keep
long. Make it the day before, if you wish, but then keep it in the
fridge.
Ingredients:
450gms 1lb apples. (I prefer Bramley apples but any cooking
apples will do).
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons caster sugar
3 ground cloves
15g or 1/2oz butter
1 teaspoon vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste.
Method:
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan
2. Core the apples and remove the skin. Chop them into small
pieces.
3. Put the apple pieces into the pan and add the water.
4. Cover with a lid and cook gently on a medium heat for 8
minutes.
5. Take the pan off the heat and, with a potato masher, mash the
apples into a fine puree.
6. Stir in the caster sugar, the vinegar and the ground cloves.
7. Put the pan back on the heat and, stirring all the time, reheat
until hot. Do not allow to boil.
8. Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.
9. Pour into a gravy boat, or similar, and allow to cool.
