In my last post, I promised PINK! 
Well, she’s here and she is the inspiration for some goodness out of the garden. G & I continue to work on our raised bed square foot garden and have already enjoyed lettuce, radishes, onions, herbs, yellow squash, zucchini, green beans, and finally tomatoes. Little Miss PINK will be dining on a puree of green beans steamed with fresh spearmint – no salt – just that hint of mint makes them very tasty. I ‘ve also made her applesauce … simple & delicious.
Baby “PINK” Applesauce — 1 bag of “sweet” apples (gala, Rome, Mackintosh);
Core & quarter the apples (don’t peel – the redder the apple the “pinker” the sauce);
Place apples in a large sauce pan in about 1/2 inch of water; Bring to a boil and cook (covered) until very soft (saucy); Transfer apples to a food mill and mill into a bowl, discard the peels [great in your compost pile]; puree in a blender or food processor for infants eating the 1 & 2 level foods; Once you puree, I add about 1/2 teaspoon of organic cinnamon [optional]. At this point you can place in either ice trays [cover with plastic wrap & then foil] or in small “freezer-friendly” containers and freeze.
Next up, fruited hot, hot, hot pepper jellies … and of course, more pie … mixed berry!
This is great! Jessie found it for me and I have added it to my favorites, so now I will check to see what my “seester” has to say. I can confirm that you are a fabulous pie maker as I have eaten some; I think apple and blueberry. Happy gardening, cooking, and baking!
