Yum! Halfed the recipe to try it out. Might have accidentally added fewer strawberries, but was still good if that was the case. I used a potato masher at the end to blend all together.
Yum. My family loved it, warm from the stove. Try it on pound cake. mmmmmm….. One suggestion I would make is to save some time and use an immersion blender near the end of cooking – that saved me a lot of time chopping the apples finely. Big chunks of apple cooked down very well, and then I was able to blend it to just the consistency I wanted. We canned most of it, froze some, and ate some. I didn’t have enough rhubarb to double the recipe, so we did about a batch and a half, and our total was around 6-7 pints. Nice recipe.
I use this with rhubarb from the garden. I have to admit I use a pound of strawberries, “some” apples, and whatever rhubard looks ripe when I make it. I cook it for almost an hour. It is always delicious.
Amazing! Very delicious
Loved, loved, loved it! So easy, too. Made it exactly as directed. I plan to add the leftovers to my oatmeal tomorrow morning.
This was delicious! I halved the recipe as didn’t need that much. Froze part of the batch and baked the rest into an applesauce yogurt cake. Will definitely make again.
