Jalapeno Applesauce

  • 6 medium apples, chopped (I prefer Granny Smith or McIntosh)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 jalapenos, finely chopped (don't seed & vein unless you're a total pussy -- in which case, fuck off and forget this recipe)
  • sugar to taste
  • vanilla to taste
  • dash of rum (optional)

Bring all ingredients to a boil in a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until apples are soft. Mash as much or as little as you like. Serve as you like. Good for a side dish, breakfast, or snack. Try it spicier. No, spicier than that. No, spicier!

  1. I can't wait to get some apples and make this with the jalapenos from my garden!

  2. I need more guidance on how much sugar and vanilla are appropriate...

  3. I'd start with maybe 2-3 TBS of sugar (keep in mind I don't like stuff very sweet), and maybe 1 tsp of vanilla. You can add more of both at the end, if you like.

  4. You have GOT to write a cookbook. No holds barred. Really.
