FUJI APPLE & AGAVE NECTAR MARMELADE

By BobD

Ingredients

• 3 CUPS
• Like an elegant applesauce, this smooth puree goes well with grilled meats, especially pork.
• 2 lb Fuji apples (about 4), peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
• 2 tablespoons unfiltered apple cider
• 2 tablespoons spring water
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons agave nectar (not dark)
• ACCOMPANIMENT: whole-milk plain yogurt

Preparation

Step 1

Bring all ingredients except agave nectar to a simmer in a large heavy saucepan.

Reduce heat to low and gently simmer, covered, until apples are very soft, about 40 minutes. Cool to warm, stirring occasionally.

Puree in a blender with agave nectar until smooth.

Cool completely before serving.
