To Make Ahead: Strawberry applesauce can be stored sealed in a jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze it. 

To Freeze: Let the applesauce cool completely in the pot or blender, then spoon the mixture into ice cube trays. Freeze until solid. Pop the cubes out of the trays and put them into freezer bags labeled with the date and type of applesauce.
