Homemade Applesauce
 This recipe is best made with apples that feel a little soft when you squeeze them.
Ingredients you will need to make 6
servings:
- 8 medium size apples
- 1/4 cup/60 mL water
- 1/2
to 3/4 cup / 125 to 180 mL white or brown sugar (depending on
how sweet you like your applesauce)
- 1-1/2 tsp/7.5 mL Watkins Cinnamon
Instructions:
- Peel apples. Cut into quarters (4 pieces), then cut out the core and the seeds
- In a 3-quart/litre microwave-safe casserole dish (you'll need a big casserole dish to prevent the applesauce from boiling over in the microwave) combine apples and water. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 10 to 15 minutes or until the apples are tender, stirring and mashing with the back of a spoon every 5 minutes.
- Stir in sugar and cinnamon; mix well. Let cool completely, then store in the refrigerator.
  To make applesauce on the
stove top - combine apples and 1/2 cup
water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover;
reduce heat and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or
until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove
from heat and place on a hot pad. Stir in the sugar
and cinnamon. Let cool completely, then store in
the refrigerator. |
Bubbles Galore!
Bubbles can be quite messy, so it is best to use these outdoors. It's fun to watch your bubbles float away on a light breeze - or chase them down and try to catch them!
 Ingredients you will need:
- 1 cup/250 mL warm water
- 1/4 cup/60 mL Watkins Liquid Dish Soap (any scent) or Watkins Organic Cleaner
- 1 tsp/5 mL salt
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine all ingredients; mix
well.
- Store in a covered container.
If you don't have a wand
for blowing bubbles, any of these items can be used: - roll up a
heavy piece of paper or light cardboard into a tube-shape. Put
tape around the middle in two different places to hold the
tube together. Dip one end into the bubble solution and blow
in the other end.
- use a wire
egg dipper used for dying Easter eggs
- use a
small-holed slotted spoon
- cut the
bottom out of a styrofoam or plastic cup; and/or
- for GIANT
bubbles, shape a wire coat hanger into a loop (you'll probably
need help from a grown-up assistant). Place the bubble
solution in a large frying pan or an aluminum pie plate. Dip
your coat hanger loop into the solution, then wave it in the
air.
