A question about cooked fruit

[Guest guest]

If you put fruits and vegetables (and some water) in a VitaMix and whirl it long

enough, it not only purees it, it heats and cooks it. Is this an acceptable way

of making legal applesauce or pear sauce?

Also, the Vitamix completely purees skin, core and seeds. Do they still have to

be removed before cooking?

A Vitamix is a great tool -- but if the core,

skin and seeds are pureed, they are still there

to feed the bad bugs. I don't (yet) have a

Vitamix, so I can't say whether it produces

enough heat to properly cook stuff, especially at the beginning. I suspect not.

Core, peel, and de-seed, then puree.
