Joan Nathan recommeds using this applesauce with potato latkes. She
learned the recipe from Rose Zawid who ran a kosher boarding house in
Atlantic City, NJ.
In Europe, berries were often added to apples when making applesauce.
The cranberry is a distinctly American option.

Rose Zawid's Applesauce with Cranberries
3/4 pound (1 bag) fresh cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar, or to taste
4 pounds apples, unpeeled and quartered
In a large saucepan, combine cranberries, 1 1/2 cups water, sugar and
apples. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes or until apples are soft.
Let cool slightly; put through a food mill. Adjust sugar to taste and
serve.
Yield: about 8 cups.
ST. LOUIS POST Tester's note: I do not have a food mill, so I pureed the
cooked mixture in a food processor, then forced the puree through a fine
sieve with a wooden spoon.
