How To Thaw Applesauce In Cold Water
Important: Don't use this method if you froze the applesauce in a glass jar. If the water isn't cold enough, you risk shocking the glass, and it'll shatter.
Equipment
- A resealable plastic bag (for applesauce ice cubes only)
- A large bowl OR a clean sink
- Cold water
- A smaller bowl
Instructions
- Take as many bags/containers of applesauce as you need from the freezer, or pop a few applesauce ice cubes into a resealable, plastic bag.
- Fill your sink or a bowl with cold water (not warm). Put the bag(s) or container in the water.
- Set a timer for 1 hour. Check on the applesauce. Replace the water with fresh, cold water and re-set the timer for 1 hour. Repeat this step as often as needed.
- Empty the thawed applesauce from the container or freezer bag into a smaller bowl.
- Stir well and serve directly or reheat further as needed.
