Instructions: Place the candy and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the candy. Add jello powder and stir until it is dissolved.

Stir in applesauce and ice cubes until ice cubes are melted. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until set (1 hour or more).

NOTES:
* Applesauce jello salad - A delicious jello salad, taken from The Monterey Coast Guard Officers Wives Club Cookbook. My sister-in-law was the president of the club which put that cookbook together.

* Substituting apple cider or apple juice for the water adds tremendous taste. We prefer homemade chunky style applesauce to processed commercial brands.

Difficulty: easy.

Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1-3 hours to chill.

Precision: approximate measurement OK.
