Applesauce can also be frozen in zip-loc bags that have been doubled and kept in refrigerator 24 hours before freezing. I usually fill small size bags with the sauce and then put 2 - 4 of these in a Gallon size bag being sure to eliminate excess air in the large bag before sealing. PRE REFRIGERATION IS A MUST otherwise ice-crystals form within the applesauce and changes the flavor.

You can make it with any number of fruit but apples remain my favorite. Why anyone buys applesauce is something of a mystery to me: apples are inexpensive, you can leave the peel on (fish them out after it cools, or chop the apples instead of slicing and don't fish out the peel), and it's so tasty.

I make applesauce often as I get apples for free at my part-time job. I like really really smooth sauce, so I use my immersion blender. It does a great job! I don't add cinnamon to mine but in the past I've added those little red cinnamon hearts for color and flavoring... so good! Gail, great idea!
