Berry applesauces

 

As if I hadn't made enough applesauce previously I made more... a lot more.  Really I just wanted to try it with peel-on green apples and see what color I ended up with.  I was figuring it wouldn't be pink like it was with the red apples before.  

Given the amount of applesauce I made I figured I'd experiment a little bit more and see what happened with I combined it with other fruits.  Turns out, delicious.

       

Applesauce base:

Approximately 3.5 pounds of apples cored and sliced (~1500g)

Once apples are soft blend in blended, food processor or with immersion blender.  I like it a little chunkier so I used the food processor.
