Ingredients

  • 5 large Red Delicious apples, peeled and finely chopped
  • 4 cups finely chopped fresh or thawed frozen rhubarb (about 8 stalks)
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • In a Dutch oven, combine apples, rhubarb, strawberries, sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 18-22 minutes or until fruit is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. If a smoother consistency is desired, cool slightly and, in batches, process in a blender. Serve warm or cold. Freeze option: Freeze cooled applesauce in freezer containers. To use, thaw in refrigerator overnight. Serve cold or heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally.
