directions
- This recipe can be done in a microwave, but I don't own one; I am including stove top and microwave instructions.
- In a large saucepan, mix apple and pineapple juices, zest from orange (I use a microplane), juice from orange, juice from lemon, spices, honey, butter and cognac. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat.
- Peel, core and coarsely chop apples.
- Add apples to simmering liquid.
- Stir occasionally until apples begin to soften and break apart.
- Using an immersion blender or a potato masher, blend or smash the apples to desired consistency.
- Allow to cool, then store in the refrigerator.
- Alton says the flavors of his original applesauce recipe improve in the days to follow. Hopefully the same could be said for this!
- Microwave Instructions: In microwaveable container, heat all ingredients, except apples.
- Remove from microwave, stir in apples.
- Return to microwave 10-20 minutes (depending on wattage) stirring halfway through cooking time.

Back in the US after 10 years abroad. Good to be home and have good access to more familiar ingredients, however, I also loved all that I learned in my beloved adoptive country of Macedonia. I also had the privilege of running an American style bakery during my last 3 years in Skopje.
Baking is my addiction, but I do love all sorts of cooking. My husband recently ended his 15 year low-carb lifestyle, so we are both busy packing on the pounds and being able to eat forbidden foods together now! Love it (but not how snug my pants are!).
