I saw this recipe for Apple Fennel Puree and thought it was interesting. The kids love applesauce and eat it either by itself or on.....whatever. Most recently we've been putting it on waffles in the morning. Fennel is an awesome source of nutrition and has a licorice taste to it, so I thought that I'd give it a whirl. It came out great! It tastes like normal applesauce but with just a hint of that licorice at the end. It's not "sweet" though - so if you're use to eating sweeter applesauce, then you might want to add a little bit of sugar or something to it. I buy the kids natural applesauce - so they're pretty use to the not-as-sweet flavor. But just FYI that you might have to alter it a little bit to you liking. Also, you could up the apples to 3 instead of 2 ---that might help with the sweetness factor a little too!

1 Fennel Bulb, fronds removed and fennel bulb (the white part) chopped
2 Apples, peeled, cored and chopped (I like to use Gala, Pink Lady or Fuji apples)
1. Place the fennel in a steamer pot over boiling water and cook for 4 minutes.
2. Add the apples to the pot and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until fennel and apples are fork tender.
3. Place the mixture in a food processor and puree.
4. Serve.
