Tart Apple Sauce is a delicate accompaniment to goose, duck or pork dishes. Apple Sauce and horseradish is excellent served with pork dishes. Just add horseradish to taste and blend into the Apple Sauce. A somewhat sweeter Apple Sauce, served with cream, is a simple and tasty dessert.

11 lb. cooking apples
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon water
teaspoon salt
sugar to taste
1 oz. [3 tablespoons] butter

Directions:

1. Peel, core and slice the apples. Place them in a bowl of water with a little salt as they are being prepared. This prevents them from becoming brown.
2. Drain the apples and rinse them in fresh cold water. Put the apples into a large saucepan with the lemon rind, water and salt.
3. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat until the apples are soft. Add the sugar to taste, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the apples to cool.
4. With the back of a wooden spoon, push the apples through a strainer to make a fine puree.
5. Beat in the butter. If the sauce is to be served hot, return it to a clean saucepan and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat.
