We eat a lot of applesauce throughout the year and one year we kind of stumbled on this (Well, actually--it was a year we had grown a lot of concord grapes and I was sick of making jelly and juice. . .this was the next outcome!) It's what we call "grapey applesauce"!! Yummmmm!! So easy to do; it's basically just make applesauce with the addition of concord grapes.
Here's how we do it--chunk up apples and put them in a stock pot with some water. Add some (a few handfuls) concord grapes. Cook on medium till the apples are soft (make sure you stir them every few minutes so they don't burn). Put through foley food mill, add a little sugar (really! add some sugar--it brings out the flavors more, I think)
And voila! you have grapey applesauce!
Process in boiling water canner. Yummmmm!! :)
I never would have considered combining grapes with applesauce, but you make it sound good. My oldest daughter might especially enjoy this. Anytime I make homemade applesauce the kids gobble it up quickly.
