How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Applesauce

  1. Wash and chop 1 lb strawberries, 1 lb rhubarb (remove strings), and 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and chopped).
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chopped strawberries, rhubarb, and apples with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a dash of cinnamon.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. If desired, use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a regular blender to puree for a smoother consistency. If you prefer a chunky applesauce, skip this step.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
