  • Riesling

    Despite it's powerful and distinctive floral and apple-like aroma, Riesling has a delicate sweet flavor that pairs well with butter seared trout and other sea foods.

I have made this recipe many times since it was 1st published in 2004. My family & friends love it. When I make it I just put all the ingredients into a pot & cook until the apples are soft & then I mash them for a chunky consistency or put in the blender for a smoother consistency. It is so easy & I like that it is not loaded with sugar. I usually double the recipe, put it in canning jars & water process it for 10 mins. That way I can have it on hand to give as gifts.
