Cranberry Applesauce

Yesterday the refrigerator apple drawer was full of orphaned apples. I filled our six quart Dutch oven with them whole and added a leftover bag of fresh cranberries. Then I added about a quart of water, covered it with a tight fitting lid and simmered it until the apples were cooked. Then I poured it all into the food mill which was mounted over a large bowl in the sink and I turned the handle clockwise making a gorgeous pink tart and sweet applesauce. It's even more delicious with a bit of honey.
