Red Wine Applesauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until apples are soft. Allow to cool, then mash with a fork or potato masher.

Steps:

• Combine apples, red wine, bay leaf and sugar (adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference and the tartness of the apples) in a large saucepan.
• Cover and cook over medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Mash the apples with the back of a spoon as they begin to soften.
• Remove the bay leaf.
• For thicker applesauce, boil uncovered and stir constantly until it has reduced slightly.
• Use a food mill, if you want a smoother sauce.
• Add butter and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.

Steps:

• Place apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan, and cook over medium heat until very tender, stirring often so that apples do not scorch, about 45 minutes. If necessary, add additional water to apple mixture, up to 1 cup, while apples cook.
• Remove the mixture from heat. Using a potato masher, mash into sauce, leaving some of the chunks. Let cool. If making ahead of time, chill, covered, until ready to use. Allow to warm to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the apples, sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the apples are very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and cinnamon. Let cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer the apple mixture to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters and pulse until smooth. Alternatively, puree in the pan with an immersion blender.
• Transfer the applesauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Place 1 cup red wine in a small saucepan; boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat; add 2 tablespoons cold cut-up butter, and swirl pan until butter is melted and sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Season with coarse salt; serve with Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon.

Steps:

• Pour the fat out of the pan you cooked your steaks in, but don't clean it. Place the pan back on the heat with half the butter and the shallots and sizzle for 2 mins to soften. Stir in the flour and cook to a sandy paste, then splash in the vinegar and simmer for a moment. Pour in the wine and stir, scraping any sticky bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to the boil and bubble for a minute, then whisk in the mustard and then the stock.
• Boil the sauce down to about 200ml in total, then taste and season. Whisk in the remaining butter and the parsley, plus any resting juices from the steaks. Serve the steaks on warm plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
