How to Make Cherry Applesauce
- Peel, core, and chop 2 pounds of apples into 1-inch chunks.
- In a heavy large saucepan, combine the apple chunks and 1 cup of unsweetened apple juice.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until apples are very tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of cherry preserves.
- Using a potato masher or immersion blender, gently mash the mixture to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a touch more preserves or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Let cool completely.
- This sauce can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
- Serve warm or cold, garnished with a pinch of grated ginger (optional).
