Saucesational – An Experiment in Applesauce: Ginger Gold
Next apple up for the Sauce Test – Ginger Gold.
This is one of our newer varieties and it has gone over extremely well at the orchard. It is similar to a golden delicious but ripens much earlier. One of the neat things about this apple is it is slow to brown when cut.
This apple also seemed to cook like a Golden Delicious – it really kept it’s shape.
Here’s a foggy picture of the sauce after 2 hours in the slow cooker…I put the camera too close to the cooking apples and it fogged up… :)
Another view of the pot after two hours of cooking.
I let the apples cook for another hour and it eventually got a bit mushier but it did make a really nice chunky sauce.
It was a sweeter sauce with just a hint of tartness to it. I enjoyed it quite a bit…not quite as good as the Zestar sauce but definitely delicious.
