(N.Z. Press Association) NELSON, Feb. 26. The equivalent of 35,000 cartons of Nelson apples are expected to be exported to the United States this year in the form of apple sauce, a product of the Apple and Pear Board’s cannery at Stoke. The cannery manager (Mr N. Collie) said today that the product had been sold on the American market last year for the first time. Demand for the sauce
had grown and the cannery aimed to export 100,000 cartons of finesieved sauce, and 20,000 cartons of coarse-sieved. The daily output was about 14,000 cans of sauce from 150 bulk bins of apples. From apple to sauce the process took three minutes, said Mr Collie. Apples were crushed, heated, sieved, and sugar added in as short a time as possible to avoid oxidation.
