Great Uncle Oscar's Cinnamon Applesauce | Family Recipes

This is by far the most yummiest applesauce on the planet.  For years I dreamed of it but really thought I was crazy. About 18 years ago I asked my Granny about this RED applesauce and she said the trick was Jello and red hots!  I was shocked!  That tricky Uncle Oscar!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Need:
1 large box sugar fee Jello (I prefer Raspberry but Strawberry works too)
1 32oz jar of unsweetened applesauce (or you can make your own)
1 8 oz bag of red hot candies
1/2 cup water

large saucepan
storage container with tight lid

Pour applesauce into your container and set aside.

Melt red hot candies in the saucepan on low heat with 1/4 cup of water until melted.  This will take what seems a lifetime and your hand will be tired.  Do not let this burn.

Remove from heat and add the remaining 1/4 cup of water to the melted candy.  Next add Jello and mix well, again your hand will be tired.  keep mixing or you will have lumps and that will be gross.  Add the mixture to your applesauce and mix some more...and more...and more, until well blended. 

Refrigerate at least six hours before serving.  YUMMY!
