Strawberry-Rhubarb Applesauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 golden delicious apples (unpeeled)
1 cup chopped rhubarb
1/2 cup sliced strawberry
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange rind
1/3 cup orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)

Preparation

Apple peel adds colour and fibre to this dish, so I recommend you don't peel the apples; however, you can certainly do so if you wish.
Core apples and chop into chunks; place in a saucepan along with 1 tbsp cold water.
Over medium heat, cook, stirring often but not continuously, for 5 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and turn heat up; bring to a boil.
Once boiling, turn heat down to a simmer and let cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until rhubarb and apples have softened.
Taste; you may want to add more sugar depending on the tartness of your rhubarb.
You can puree this in the cuisinart, but I prefer to keep it chunky.
Refrigerate if not serving right away.
