Fall meets summer. Summer meets fall. Homemade applesauce is one thing, and I've thoroughly enjoyed the batch I made last year. But even with cinnamon, applesauce is always sort of plain (in fact, it's one of my 'safe' foods when I'm feeling under the weather). Otherwise, I eat it with sour cream on my latkes and that's about it. Guess I'm just not really an applesauce kind of person. But take that plain old applesauce and throw in a few cups of frozen blackberries (smartly preserved earlier in the summer when I knew I had no time to deal with them) and you have a mind-blowing, life-altering, hot pink applesauce. And is (naturally) hot pink food ever a bad thing? The blackberries give the sauce not only its gorgeous color, but also a unique tart flavor. Vibrant and fruity and even more apple-y than regular applesauce (if you can believe it). The blackberries do warrant more sugar to counteract their tartness, but you can add as much or as little sugar as you want. How much will depend
