Rachel's TEST Kitchen - ZUCCHINI Apple Sauce
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- What others ways can we use up all this extra zucchini? I'm always looking for new ideas, and this time around we're going to attempt to make applesauce from zucchini. This is not an approved NCHFP / USDA recipe - this is just me experimenting in my kitchen. If you decide to make this, do so at your own risk. 5-6 pretty large zucchini went into my roasting pan, and in total I ended up adding two jugs of apple juice. It cooked down for a really long time - about 24 hours. Then I ran it through my food processor to break it down even further and seasoned it, as I would normal apple sauce.

I made zucchini "applesauce" recently. I added citric acid and sugar. That seemed to give it a more granny Smith like flavor! I also spread it on sheets and dehydrated as fruit leather. Kids loved it!
I've been adding zucchini to my apple sauce and pies for years...I also use thin slices for the middle layers of my lasagna. No one ever knew.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re so “user friendly”. If you do it,you make me feel like I can do it! Thank you!
That would make some great apple bread, Apple spice muffins or just regular apple cakes!! I love that it is rustic!!
My gosh Rachel, how about zapple pancakes? Miss Darcy on Purposeful Panty does a dehydrated zucchini bread in slices for biscoti, and cubed for croutons. You are STILL the queen of zucchini!
Thumbs up from the Dooleys of Michigan Enjoyed
Every week I make muffins for my husband and I to have during the week as a sweet treat. I always use zucchini, carrots and applesauce and bananas in them to avoid oils and eggs so I thinks this would be perfect for that!!!
God is blessing you early for your year of Sabbath. S o you can make things you wouldn't normally make. :) I think it just proves how good God is :)
I need a shirt like yours! Love it.
I’d put it threw the screen and get those seeds out and add some apple juice to thin out. Try grilling a pork chop, slather the chop with that and top with some toasted pecans . Delicious!
My grandfather made an applesauce fruit cake for Christmas every year. Spice cake with fruit. Yum.
I’d love to see your garden. I’ve very new to growing and want start canning in Australia… just having trouble getting ball jars in Australia
I always put Red Hot Cinnamon candy in my apple sauce, makes it pink and love the cinnamon flavor. Love it that you called the burner an eye, the first time I told my husband to turn off the eye, he sat there looking at me like I was speaking a different language. lol That is what my Grandmother call the burner and eye.
You are a Wonder Woman, and Amazing person- Good Vibes and Todd., You share so much Information to help us live 5-12-2022👍🏽👍🏽♥️
How about some zucchini apple sauce alongside a big ol' pork chop and baked potato? Oh yeah! Yummy!
If I were making this recipe I too would have left the peel on, that’s where all the nutrients are stored. I would also make apple sauce cake and it would also be good with bacon or roast pork. Yummmmm. Good job Rachel and great use of an abundant harvest.
Rachel, you are such a hoot! Love your shirt. But you scare me to death with that huge knife!
I like to put cinnamon red hot candies in my applesauce for pork chops. That would be good
What a great idea!!!!!! I might try apple juice concentrate to sweeten. Thanks Rachel! God Bless yawl.
My daughter got me a T-shirt that said…World’s Averagest Mom 😋😜 I love your shirt 😂😂😂
The year is flying by. You're talking about putting your beds to bed. It seems like yesterday back in early spring when you were having a difficult time getting into gardening mode. You weren't feeling it. Remember??
Wow! Awesome!!😀 Queen Zucchini, you won't ever stop amazing me!🍏 I love it! Thanks, Rachel! 👑💗
I tried this using frozen concentrated apple juice...it was wonderful. I peeled my squash.
Love your ideas for using the harvest. 😃
I bet this would be good mixed into some oatmeal. When I was in my teens I discovered apple sauce cookies, I think this would be good for that.
from Australia -- with the big zucchini cut in half , deseed , mix up cottage pie meat and vegie mix ( i have seen u cook this ) place the zucchini on a baking tray- put the cooked pie mix in the grove were the seeds where -- cover with tasty cheese slow bake 200 c till the zucchini is cooked and cheese browned -- best meal ever :) good luck and enjoy
Hi Rachel 👋 making zuchini lasanga tonight.
Giant Zombie Zucchini use to go with us to the range as they make "interesting" targets. We've learned to make them into "green powder" so we keep every one of them. Now that you've shown us how to make Zucchini apple pie filling and apple sauce, we'll need to enlarge the garden space to grown even more. THANKS!
I love your apron, red being my favorite color & being from RI red roaster.
OMG Rachel that looks just like applesauce. I gotta try it this yr.
Congratulations on the grandchild. I made all of my granddaughter's baby food. All organic.
LOVE this idea! Last year was my first canning year, and I searched for ideas for vegetable applesauce all over. I ended up just making applesauce with carrots, but this year I'm absolutely adding zucchini and squash for my son! :)
My mother in law used to make a Mock apple pie with zucchini. It was soooo good, you'd never know the difference. That filling might be something you could can . LOVE your videos! I grew up in Michigan, just south of Flint. I'm in Cincinnati now but dream of getting back to Pure Michigan!!
Wow you come up with all kinds of good recipes nothing goes to waste I like that you inspire me
Applesauce is used a lot in vegan baking, I bet this would work the same way! My zuchinnis were a bust this year but filing this away in the noggin for next year. Oh, my hoodie came last week, it is so cozy, true to size & warm, I can't wait for the chillier days to wear it! My kids said, YOU GOT 1870S MERCH?! 😱🤣
Looks fabulous and with the skin on - more fibre. Thanks for sharing. Courgettes my favourite 👍😎
This looks fun! My mom did hers with the last drop of apples off the trees. She always peeled everything or rather, I always peeled everything! LOL I think she a 3 to 1, zucchini to apples. I know she did it with pears as well and it was yummy! My mom always had ours with pork but I would plop some in a bowl or mix in with oatmeal.
I think a spoonful in oatmeal sound delicious.
Rachel, I'm up for this experiment! We lost 90% of our apple blossoms this spring, so I'm really short on apples this year. I did, however get a really nice amount of rampucante zuchini/squash, as they are squash vine borer resistant. What a terrible pest to have to fight! I think I will tweak mine with some citric acid, and peel my zuchs. I love your creativity with your produce! Thanks for another fun visit!
Same here. Hardly any apples but a boat load of rampucante zucchino. This makes me very happy to have an alternative
Hey great invention/experiment & definitely worth ago. Wow going to be a Grandma wow can't wait to watch. I have just finished making your Zucchini Relish & it looks fabulous. Cheers Denise- Australia
Thank you for this! I was looking for a recipe for this! So happy I found this video!❤️
You’re so funny, Rachel. I love to watch all your experiments. I think you’re the Zucchini Queen! I have three apple trees, so I am up to my ears in apples every fall, I don’t need zucchini sauce. I’m really leery of you water bathing this zucchini sauce. Maybe using ph strips first would be a good idea?
That's why we posted a disclaimer in the description. Untested recipe.
@@1870s Sorry, i didn’t see the disclaimer. You didn’t leave all the apple juice in, right?
@@1870s I was not trying to be offensive. I apologize if my comment was hurtful to you any way.
Very cool experiment! Cooking some bread will smell and taste so good this fall and winter!
I am excited you show how you use your canned good this winter because I am new to canning and have been wondering okay now how do I use these canned pepper I have canned other than in beans.
wow looks awesome I well definitely have to try making that some time thanks for sharing that
You made zapple sauce for your Grandchild!! I love it 💞💞😎
Wait!! So did u taste it? How does it taste?
Tasted great
Shred and make fritters with the big ones. Love them
My son's favorite vege presentation. I do a LOT of fritters during zucchini season.
I haven't made the applesauce yet but what a wonderful idea. I have made the mock apple filling but I used apple juice concentrate so I could control the liquid and increase the apple flavor. God bless.
I’m loving your channel! Thanks so much I’m inspired to can 😄
Made your relish very good had it last night, have the zucchini apple sauce in the canner now only got 6 pints saved the juice filled three pints added the lemon juice and cinnamon nutmeg to it and canning as well. That would be good on a sick day heated as tea. Had my roaster to the top so added extra half bottle of apple juice will see how it takes very thick took the juice out didn't want it to be runny, 🤞
i love making it up stuff,,,,,,,i have some concentrate i made from our apple cider,,,,,and lots of the ice chips from it also, and this looks like the recipe i will try also,,,zucchini and applesauce both get water bathed, so yea,,,,,looks great, i bet that would make some awesome cookies, or breads,,,,,thanks so much for the ideas,,,,
I have to admit I would have never thought to make applesauce with zucchini but my mouth is watering thinking about the flavors. Can’t wait to see what you bake later on with these.
Thank you for this great idea. I didn’t grow zucchini because of the squash bugs and borers. Instead, I grew luffa which I love using while still green. Today I made luffa applesauce for my grandson! Tastes great. Thank you again for this great idea.
I suff some those large-ones with a sausage based filling. Topping them with tomato sauce and cheese of choice. Very yummie
My two year old LOVES applesauce. It is a snack I never feel bad about giving him since he eats a no sugar added sauce, but he eats it two or three times daily. I am definitely going to try zucchini applesauce because that would a huge win for veggie intake. Thanks Rachel!
Try soaking zucchini in salt the day before rinsing and roasting in apple juice to cook down, then process to consistency, and season. This would be awesome in homemade brownies,
what a fantastic idea, would love to know how to use this in brownies you made me hungry for them and would love to try zucchini added. ty
Like adding avocado right?
I had several squash and decided to try a squash casserole. It was delicious! I also want to try the zucchini cake. Love your videos.
I have a question about canning and the jars. How many times can you use the jars? I have had times when I will put my jars of something in the water bath and then you here a big pop and a jar has blown out the bottom or cracked. Thx
Question. Can you dehydrate the pulp and use it to thicken things like you do with tomato skins and seeds?
I actually have been dehydrating my peels and making powders from them to add to cooking, soups and stews especially I just did a bunch of eggplant, zucchini and carrot peels tomorrow I'm doing a tray of apple peels and chayote peels I want to see if i can use them in my mock apple pies and crisps when there's no apples the powder will be a flavor booster I think
No way! I was just thinking today if I could make apple pie filling with zucchini, or peach pie filling, etc…
Hi Rachel. This is wonderful. I have never heard of zucchini apple sauce before. Why don't you use it for cakes, muffins, pies and to put it also on meat. Pork chops might be awesome with zucchini sauce on top. God Bless you Rachel, and how awesome you really are. You have a great man in Todd. Take care, and stay healthy. Maria. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙💙😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀❤️❤️
My zucchini on my plants has orange spots because it should have been picked sooner. Should I still use it? or do you think its too old?
Looking good!!! We have apple sauce with our pork chops at supper.
This would be great because it gives you move veggies in your diet.
I'm not a veggie person, more of a carnivore person..lol
Rachel have you ever tried watermelon rind pickles? They are so good and they stay crunchy! I made them recently using the one brine for everything recipe you shared.
God blessed you abundantly this 6th year for honoring His 7th year sabbath for the land next year.
Next round of zuchini, making this.
Oh boy that looks and I bet smells delicious.
Our mushroom block came last week and I put it in the closet for it's waiting time. Tomorrow is the day to get it out and hopefully will be successful in growing mushrooms. Oh yum!
I want to try this I just have a general question though, when wb canning does everything get finger tight closed or should the jars be tightly closed I'm so use to the inversion canning wb is confusing to me . Thank you so very much for your great tips and I love watching you and todd> I'm homebound due to health issues and just love learning from you and applying it.. Zucchini butternut and crookneck squash are my absolute favorites they're so versatile> can't wait to see what comes with the fall goodies lol tia and blessings to you and yours
We have had a great first try!!! Lol our table looks the same
For large zukes I typically make zucchini gummies or I will steam, blend and freeze to use in a cream of fresh vegetable soup I make. I also save one large one for seed. Looking forward to trying your new invention Rachel :)
😀 EPIC!! I'd love the recipe for your cream of veggie soup! It sounds beautiful! Blessings! 😍👑💗
Gummies?
We make zucchini salsa with those big ones! It's my favorite way to use them!
Oh I’ve been waiting for what you had brewing behind you in the last video 🙂
I have the cooler. It’s is awesome! Definitely a must have.
Like apple sauce put on pancakes, on yogurt , ice cream, on toast, muffins etc
That would be delicious mixed into Oatmeal!
I had the same thought!
Great idea on zucchini! Congrats on grand baby coming, is it your 1st? , I’m going to be a new grandma in late February. Our 1st. So exciting!
Oh that looks amazing, I would try it as a filling for crepes or pipe into a fresh doughnut 😍
Love this. Definitely going to try and make some cinnamon muffins with it. Or a Raisin and cinnamon bread.
I "just" watched Acre Homestead.... say she dehydrates shredded zucchini and powders it... to add as a thickener to tomato sauces... etc. Thought of That 1870's Homestead with your tomato powder. What a great way to keep your harvest shelf ready to add to other recipes. I would have never thought about zucchini powder?
Great video and idea. Thank you for sharing. I’d enjoy this on oatmeal and stirred in to baked oatmeal
Never have I seen zucchini. That large looks great
With zucchini that big I love to make zucchini tots.
I just used my last Zucchini and it made me decide to check your Zucchini play list. I was surprised to see you didn't have a Mock Apple Zucchini Pie. That was what I tried and it was wonderful. I used a recipe I found on the internet. Also didn't see a recipe for Ratatouile. i used a recipe I saw on the Today show. It includes eggplant, onions, tomato and zucchine as well some other garden goodies. I found a recipe on line to can it. It makes a great side and a wonderful lasagna, recipe also on the Today show. I dehydrate zucchini to throw into veggie soup in the winter.
I love eating applesauce with cottage cheese as a snack! This would probs be really good in that
Well, if you're Cam Newton then hind sight is 50 / 50 :) LOL I have been canning for years but you have really encouraged me to step outside basics and have fun with it, and I'm really enjoying the process this year. Thank you!
great idea!
Good added to oatmeal and add some nuts!
What a cool idea and resourceful, I bet I smells amazing in there, can you possibly tell me what kinda knife your using it seems super sharp?
I think I would have used frozen apple juice concentrate. more apple flavor and the sugar is already in there. I plan to try this using some homemade pectin I made a couple years ago out of boiled apple peels would sweeten without sugar and is already thicker. Thanks for giving me an idea spring board!!
Mock apple sauce sounds yummy. I'd use frozen apple juice concentrate. I'll be trying your experiment.
Awesome idea👍🏻
First, how did it taste? It looks like applesauce and I bet the house smells good. I make brown sugar applesauce and its a golden brown color, I will have to incorporate some zucchini next time, thanks Rachel, love your experiments. Congrats on the new baby coming!
Try Vermont Boiled Cider from King Arthur. I've used it with zucchini to make apple flavored zucchini bread and it works great for that. You have to get very creative when zucchini is coming out your ears and neighbors will no longer open their doors for you. Thanks for sharing!
I need this apron!!! Do you have a link?
QUESTION: could I use apple juice in place of pineapple juice in canning zucchini for baking?
Love a good apron...
Apple juice or cider?
Great idea! Wondering how it tasted?
I put apple sauce in my stuffing maybe try that in your stuffing for thanksgiving!
Another excellent video!
Love your shirt 💜!
