Home Canned Applesauce

I consulted this website to learn the steps for preparing & canning homemade applesauce.  I have no idea how many pounds of apples I started with, but I ended up with 5 pints of applesauce.  I kept it simple, with just a quarter cup of brown sugar (the apples were a bit too tart for me) & a pinch of salt.  The resulting applesauce was very tasty & my oldest gobbled it up, asking for seconds & thirds.  :)  I used my immersion blender to puree the cooked apples & it worked great.  I know there were a few chunks throughout, but that didn't bother me.  Overall, a great first attempt at canning homemade applesauce!
