About the dish

One of Erken's cold fruit sauces for rich roasts. Applesauce with horseradish and cream belonged with goose and duck in the bourgeois kitchen around 1900.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Cook the apples

    Wash the apples, remove the core, and cut them up. Put them over the heat with the warm water and cook them tender.

  2. 2

    Press

    Press the apples through a press or sieve to a smooth sauce.

  3. 3

    Season

    Stir in sugar and grated horseradish while the sauce is still warm, and let it cool completely.

  4. 4

    Fold in the cream

    Whip the cream stiff and fold in as much cream as you have applesauce. Serve with goose and duck.

Changes from the original

Quantities that were illegible in the OCR have been interpreted as 1 kg apples and 1 dl water. "del." has been converted to deciliters, "stiffly beaten cream" to stiffly whipped heavy cream with an estimated amount. Otherwise unchanged.
