EASY APPLESAUCE (1 minute, high pressure)
Cooking the apples with their skins on not only saves time, but gives the
applesauce a pale, rosy hue. For a more complex flavor, try using a variety of
apples.
1 cup water
4 pounds apples, rinsed and quartered (see Cook's Notes below)
Sugar or maple syrup if needed
1. Place water and apples in cooker.
2. Pull lid handles apart and set lid on cooker. Slide safety lock to LOCK
position. Point pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.
3. Set pressure mode for HIGH and cook time for 1 MINUTE. Press START.
4. When cooker beeps three times, STOP light will illuminate. Allow pressure
to come down naturally for 10 minutes. Quick-release any remaining pres-
sure by holding down Quick Steam Release Button until red Pressure
Indicator Rod drops.
5. Slide safety lock to UNLOCK. Pull handles apart and remove lid.
6. Lift cooked apples with a slotted spoon and pass through a food mill, dis-
carding pits and peels as you go.
7. Sweeten applesauce, if you wish. Refrigerate until needed, up to 10 days,
or freeze up to 4 months.
Cook's Notes: If you prefer a chunky applesauce, core and seed apples after
you quarter them. Eliminate step 6. Any leftover cooking liquid may be stirred
into the applesauce or used to make a fruit compote.
