It happens ever year in the beginning of apple-season, the Wife becomes "saucy". She's gleaning apples from every tree around and cooking them down for applesauce, which happens to be a favorite staple around here. The hard part, however, is getting to the apples before the cows and chickens. So, it becomes a daily chore to glean windfall apples by the bucket full and cook them down for sauce. Yummy!
Now, the Wife could preserve by canning the applesauce...and she has in the past. But this year the Wife is just full-up on things to do, so she's freezing it in ice-cream buckets. The freezer will the be happy, the shelves will be a little bare, but that's okay. The family will eat the sauce however it comes to the table. The favorite sauces we'll make are: strawberry-applesauce, pear-applesauce and plain regular-applesauce.
Applesauce is a side-dish, an ingredient, and a treat. We're keen on apples anyways-saucing is just one way to love them!
