With the lack of apples this season we haven’t had to sort as many like we usually do so we closed the store on Monday’s to take a breather. Well – yesterday I may have gotten too into this sauce experiment. I made six mini crock pots and one big crock pot of sauce. I hope my babysitters are excited about feeding the kids some sauce this week!
Since Cortland’s are starting to run low I wanted to tell you about them right away. They took quite awhile to cook down. They definitely make a chunkier sauce but I’ve found that if you leave the apples in the slow cooker longer they cook down more. I left these apples in about an hour longer than I typically do – the sauce was still a bit chunky but nothing a kid couldn’t handle.
They also made a gorgeous white sauce. It was too tart for me but I can see why so many of our customers like using the Cortland’s for sauce. They cook into a really appley, slightly tart sauce. With there great texture, color and flavor these apples are definitely a saucesational winner.
