applesauce and blueberries in EVERYTHING

(indescribably awesome cookie jar by Gary Rith)

People who know me may not be surprised:  I will pretty much each eat blueberries and applesauce all day, its an addiction!  Add peanut butter and bread and you have 90 percent of what I like to eat.
(then there is, like, peanut butter sandwich with blueberry jam and apple butter and you sort get it all together in ONE :)

Yesterday I get this boatload of work done and it is cold and miserable and the applesauce supply is low....so I make more, and then I am like "havn't made my favorite APPLESAUCE PIE lately"..so I made a little one.... and, well, I stockpile blueberries in the freezer, from back in July?  When it is like 2 bucks a gallon for them?  And toss in blueberries to both....gosh, I should share those recipes down below...do you have any idea how great the house smells when you make all this stuff?

BTW, a customer yesterday who is flicking through this blog sees a picture of the stovetop, and my piggy spoon rest there in the pic?  And she is like "make me one of those!".



applesauce, so easy:

-dice 7-9 apples, toss in big cook pot with one cup water, half cup sugar, TBS lemon juice, then add spice:  ground nutmeg, clove and cinnamon
-boil on high covered then down to low to simmer 20-30 minutes until apples are breaking up and looking apple saucy, stirring often
-blenderize mixture!
