Rhubarb Applesauce
Kathleen Daelemans

6 cups apples -- peeled, cored and sliced
3 cups rhubarb -- .5 inch slices
.5 cups sugar

Put them in a microwave safe bowl. Toss to coat with the sugar (I think that .25 cups of sugar may have been enough)

Microwave for 20 minutes.

Try not to eat it long enough to run it through the food mill (or food processor) You can always eat it chunky of course *grins*

It's really flipping tasty. The rhubarb was what I bought the other week. The apples were ones that I had bought awhile ago. One had reached the use it or toss it stage. I figured that applesauce is mushy so it didn't matter that the apple was kinda mushy (I did cut away the brown bits)

Way too tasty. Probably better warm than not warm.

Great idea. I'm in on a farm share starting in June, and the other peeps in the group hate rhubarb, which means I may end up with way too much. This sounds like a fantastic way to use it up, plus I bet rhubarb-apple sauce would freeze well enough, that I could make lots and freeze any extra...

Although if it's as tasty as you say, then it may not make it that far :)

canning might be a bit advanced... I know it's not difficult, but it sounds like a lot of effort when I have this big nice chest freezer I can shove things into :P Also, no pantry space :/
