HOME MADE APPLE SAUCE
5 large Apples (I like Pink Lady or Braeburns)
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 can peach nectar (Papaya or pineapple are good too)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
- In a large sauce pan pour nectar over raisins and let sit while you prepare apples.
- Wash, core, peel and chop apples.
- Add water to sauce pan and stir in sugar until dissolved.
- Add cinnamon and mix well.
- Add apples and cook over medium heat until until apples are tender and mush easily.
- Mush to desired consistency.
- Remove from heat.
- Cool and chill.
- Can be kept in refrigerator for a week though it never lasts that long around here. When my apples are at the height of the season and falling off the tree I make this in huge batches and put it up in canning jars for the following year.

I will have to start doing monday menu plans. I have to say i have been going to the store for groceries and we still don't have enough for meals for the week so menu planning is a must. So I might try to do this later today after I come up with a menu lol
Looks like she did an excellent job! The food looks delicious!
Ok I'm from the UK. What exactly is a pot roast? We do a roast joint in a roasting tin which means it sits in its own juices while cooking. Is this what you do with yours?
I must get into the kitchen and try some of your recipes.
I'm not sure what a roast joint is, but it does sound the same except we add the wine and bouillon mix. Try this site for a better explanation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot_roast
Good grief, now I'm starving....she did an awesome job and the food is making me drool.
Your daughter is so talented! I am loving the cake-yummy! I believe I will try to cook more in class this year-maybe-if time permits. We'll see!

Hubby would love the applesauce... well heck, he'd love it all, but I don't make homemade applesauce often.
Am did a fantastic job, she should be very proud of herself!
