Ingredients

1 cup water

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 cups unsweetened apple sauce

1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon

1 cup Muscat wine

1 cup California walnuts finely chopped, toasted

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions
  1. In a small saucepan, over medium high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together applesauce, lemon juice, wine, cooled syrup, California Walnuts and ginger. Refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours.
  3. Spoon mixture into a shallow plastic container (metal will cause mixture to turn grey); freeze until almost firm, about 2 hours.
  4. Break into chunks and transfer to airtight container and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
  5. Transfer to refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
