So what does apple sauce have to do with Hanukkah? Well, we love it with our potato latkes, which is a traditional meal to eat during Hanukkah. Some people eat them with sour cream or apricot jam but we simply stick with apple sauce.<\/p>\n

Over the years, people have asked me for the secret to my apple sauce. Interestingly, I think of my apple sauce as being no doubt tasty but rather simple and common. But who am I to argue when I am told it is extraordinary? After all these years, I have struggled with why, but have finally come up with the only possible answer ~ my\u00a0\u2665<\/span>\u00a0and intention while making it. Yes, of course I try to find the best local ingredients, but I think it must be the added ingredients that makes it stand above the rest.
\nThere are two other secrets as well.<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I only use apples but not common baking apples. I also make sure there are at least five different varieties in my sauce, such as Fuji, Honeycrisp, Baldwin, Empire, Golden Delicious, Gala, Jonagold to name a few. Sure, you can use the standards like McIntosh or Cortland, but make sure you include some other varieties. This makes the flavor more complex and delicious.<\/li>\n
  2. I use apple cider instead of water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
