DESSERTS: Lemony Apple Pudding

Lemony Apple Pudding

3 cups organic applesauce

1 cup organic apple juice

3 Tablespoons kuzu

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup currants

1/3 cup roasted and coarsely chopped almonds

1. Bring applesauce and sea salt to a boil,  covered.  Take care when removing the lid as the thick, hot applesauce will “sputter” out of the pot.  Use the lid as shield to protect your face when opening the pot.

1. Dissolve kuzu in apple juice.  Stir into applesauce, cooking over low flame until kuzu turns clear.

1. Turn off heat and stir in lemon zest and vanilla.

1. Ladle into individual serving cups and garnish with currants and chopped roasted almonds.
