What sets this sauce apart from your run-of-the-mill, basic Apple Sauce recipes?
Starting with a caramel rather than just mixing sugar into the sauce.
The result is a distinctly deeper, richer flavour in return for very little extra effort!
Prevent screen from sleeping
This is a bonus recipe (along withVermouth Jus, also a bonus recipe!)
for a sauce to accompanyCrispy Slow Roasted Pork Belly, the main recipe for today.
The sauce is straightforward as they come, so Im keeping it short and sweet!
Apple Sauce
Pork and apple are classic partners on the plate.
While Ive used this sauce forPork Belly, theres plenty of wide-ranging and wonderful options for using Apple Sauce.
Dont limit yourself to savoury thinking though.
What goes in Apple Sauce
Just five ingredients are needed for this Apple Sauce!
For the apples, I like to use Gala apples.
They have a mild, sweet flavour which I think works well for Apple Sauce.
However it’s possible for you to really use any variety of apples you want here.
Obviously bear in mind that the flavour of the apple you use will dominate the flavour of the sauce.
If you like a touch of tart, go the Granny Smith!
If you want extra-sweet, go for Red Delicious or Pink Lady!
Peel, core and cut apples I cut the apple into quarters then slice it fairly thinly.
Dont stir, as you risk crystallisation of the sugar.
You have made Apple Sauce ready for infinite possibilities!
