There are some desserts that don’t seem to have much appeal, but they are still classics everyone enjoys… the good ol’ applesauce is part of it! Here’s my favorite rhubarb-applesauce recipe! Most people think of it as a sweet applesauce, almost a “dessert-like” condiment. And it can be. But I prefer a neutral approach that allows for savory seasonings too. The slightly acidic taste of rhubarb brings pep. A food mill is the easiest way to go and produces the best applesauce. If you do not have one, you must peel and core the apples before cooking. Make as much as your time and the size of your pot allow, doubling or tripling the quantity, because applesauce freezes very well and is handy when packed in small containers. You can use other fruits of course: pears or cantaloupe melon for example.Photo credit: © Eatwell101.com
Ingredients list for the Rhubarb Applesauce
- 10 ounces (300g) of apples

Directions
1. Peel and cut the apples into pieces, place in a saucepan with the vanilla sugar and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are well softened.
2. Meanwhile, peel the rhubarb and cut it into small sections. Add the rhubarb when the apples are softened.
3. Allow rhubarb to simmer until it turns soft (which is pretty fast) and the excess water evaporates. Stir regularly.
4. Add honey at the end, mix everything well.
5. Now you can mix your sauce in a blender. Or just mash it to keep it beautiful pieces here and there!
6. And now, enjoy with biscuits, great! Bon appetit.
