We can the best applesauce ever by cutting the core off the apples, cooking till soft, and throwing in the Vitamix, peel and all (plus a dash of cinnamon!). We pour the hot applesauce straight from the Vitamix into jars to be canned in a water bath. Besides saving time, blending the peel with the applesauce adds nutrition, a beautiful pink color, and boatloads of flavor to the finished applesauce!
