Many traditional
Hanukkah foods are cooked in oil, in remembrance of the oil that burned
in the temple. In the United States, the most widespread Hanukkah food
is latkes, or potato pancakes; a custom in the celebration.
"Just a plain and simple applesauce to serve
with latkes."
Ingredients
• 3 pounds apples - peeled, cored and chopped
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
1. Place apples in a large saucepan and just barely cover with water.
Simmer over medium-low heat until apples are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Run cooked apples through a food mill or blender. Stir in the sugar
and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes.
