Tamarind apple sauce

Apple Day takes place on Sunday, October the 21st 2012. There will be a nationwide celebration of orchards, with all manners of apple-y events from large fairs to little festivals at the farmer’s market. Shu Han visited Chegworth Valley’s Kent orchards. She also shares a delicious recipe for Tamarind apple sauce

📝 Ingredients

• 600 g of apple
• 1 tbsp of tamarind paste
• 1 stick of cinnamon
• 2 cloves
• sugar, unrefined, to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Peel, core and dice the apples
2. 2Tip into a pot, together with the tamarind water and spices and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer on low heat for about 20 min or until the apples break down into a soft mush. Remove the spices and add sugar to taste
3. 3You can puree it or strain it but I do it real rustic and just roughly mash up more with a fork for more texture. It's ready to serve hot or let cool, before storing into jars, great for gifts if you decide not to eat it all up yourself
