Cran-Apple Sauce, Mk II

This was my second attempt at creating an unsweetened cranberry sauce. I think this one is even better than the first.

~3# apples, cored, pared, and chopped (6 good-sized Granny Smith and two other medium/small apples)

12 oz fresh cranberries

2 bananas, over-ripe (optional, I just wanted to use them up I don’t think they add much)

Zest of 4 limes

Juice of 6 limes (mine were on the large side)

A great whack of cinnamon, somewhere between 2 and 4 Tbsp? (Yes, tablespoons. I like cinnamon, okay?)

I didn’t have any on hand or I would have added 3 or 4 tsp crushed ginger.

Pressure cook on high for twenty minutes and let it sit for 10 minutes to let off the pressure.

I just stirred this instead of blending it like I did last time. I wanted a bit more texture. As you can see, the cranberries and the cinnamon really set the color.

The lime zest and juice really zinged this up, both in taste and aromatically while it was cooking! I was going to use one lime and several oranges like I did last time but we had a surplus of limes so I improvised.

Strawberry Granita with Passion Fruit | A Saucy Kitchen

The process looks like it would work with pretty much any fruit. To make it BLE-compatible use no sweetener and make it chunkier – not fully “smoothie-fied”. It’ll be sweet enough and then some without it for those of us who’ve been weaned off of hypersweet foods.
