Transfer portions of this homemade applesauce recipe into 3 straight-sided wide mouth canning jars, dividing evenly. Lable jars with date. Refrigerate until cold. Add jar lids and freeze. Can be frozen up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. To thaw quickly, run warm tap water over the jar to loosen. Pop frozen applesauce out of the jar into a quart sized pyrex measuring cup or similar microwave safe container. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Break up into chunks with a fork. Continue microwaving on high power until the applesauce is thawed.
