Smoked Keto Chayote Apple Sauce

Ingredients

• 8 large chayote squashes, peeled, cored, and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp Salted Perfection Cinnamon Vanilla Finishing Salt
• 1/2 cup allulose or monk fruit sweetener
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tsp natural apple extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your smoker to 250°F using a mild wood like apple or pecan to complement the flavors.
2. In a large disposable foil pan, toss the diced chayote squash with the lemon juice, water, apple extract, and the keto sweetener.
3. Sprinkle half of the Salted Perfection Cinnamon Vanilla Finishing Salt over the mixture and stir until the squash is evenly coated.
4. Place the pan uncovered in the smoker. Let it cook for about 2 to 2.5 hours. You are looking for the squash to become fork-tender and slightly translucent.
5. Remove the pan from the smoker. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to break the squash down to your preferred level of chunkiness.
6. While it is still hot, fold in the cubed butter and the remaining Salted Perfection Cinnamon Vanilla Finishing Salt until fully incorporated and glossy. DUNZO!
