Blueberry Applesauce (Vegitarian Friendly) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 lb apple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
    heaping 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen blueberries which don't have to be thawed)
    1 small cinnamon stick
    1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
    1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice or 1/4 cup water
    1/4 teaspoon almond extract
    2 tablespoons honey, to taste (I used local blackberry honey)
    2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, to taste
Preparation
    Place the apples, blueberries, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses and apple juice (or water) into a deep, heavy sauce pan.
    Cover and bring to a boil.
    Lower heat to simmer and cook until apples are very tender and the blueberries have dissolved and become saucy.
    Set aside to cool.
    Remove cinnamon stick. Puree the sauce to desired consistency either in a food processor or blender. Or-very carefully puree using an immersion blender. Be careful not to burn yourself because it hurts when the applesauce splatters!
    Transfer to a storage container. Stir in the almond extract.
    Taste the applesauce and if you think it needs sugar, go ahead and add some to desired sweetness.
