Strawberry applesauce safe?

16 years ago

Hi, new here with a quick question.

I'm going to can applesauce and I have a bunch of frozen strawberries I'd like to toss into the mix (so to speak). I know applesauce is safe to water-boil can, and I am pretty sure strawberries are as well, but I can't find anything "official" with regard to the safety of doing this.

Is it okay?

How about other berries such as raspberries?

Thanks. :)

Safe? Sure is. Try blueberries too.

Apple-blackberry is my fave!

You will find "fruit puree" instructions in the BBB and other reputable sources, which is basically applesauce with other fruit instead or as well.

Enjoy

My favorite is plum-apple. It makes a beautiful presentation too with a gorgeous purple color.

Thanks everyone, seeing as I haven't provoked a huge response of people warning me not to do this, I'll assume I'm safe. :)

Yes - it is safe. My daughter loves the pretty pink color of the strawberry-applesauce - she calls it ballerina sauce.
The fruit puree instructions in the ball book pretty much direct you to the recipe for applesauce.

I make apple-peach, apple-raspberry, and apple-strawberry. I ran out of pears this year so never got to make apple-pear sauce.
