Period Apple Sauce Recipe

[Albert Sailhorst]

Apple Sauce
"Directions for Cookery, in its Various Branches", By Eliza Leslie, 1840

Pare, core, and slice some fine apples. Put them into a sauce-pan with just sufficient water to keep them from burning, and some
grated lemon-peel. Stew them till quite soft and tender. Then mash them to a paste, and make them very sweet with brown sugar, adding
a small piece of butter and some nutmeg.
Apple sauce is eaten with roast pork, roast goose and roast ducks.
Be careful not to have it thin and watery.

Albert, there is the old joke, "How do you divide 12 apples among 13 men? Make apple sauce!"
