Kombucha Applesauce
Zane Adams, fermented food expert and cofounder of Buchi
Ingredients
- 5 apples
1/2 cup Buchi kombucha (or any variety you like)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Juice from 1 lemon
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of allspice
Pinch of sea salt
Directions
- Add coarsely chopped apple pieces to a large saucepan along with kombucha, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat, cooking apples for 20 to 25 minutes or until apples begin to soften and fall apart.
- Remove from heat and blend softened apples in a food processor or using a hand blender until smooth.
- Return puree to saucepan, and set over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar to taste, along with spices and salt.
- Gently simmer while covered, stirring occasionally to avoid burning at the bottom. Your applesauce is finished when it reaches a deep caramel in color and is thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon.
- Transfer to a jar or airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to three weeks. Enjoy!
