Although applesauce is said to have originated in the mids, the practice of preparing sauces with apples dates back to medieval times in Europe. It was recommended to cook apples with fatty meats, so the sharp apple flavor balanced out the fat. Stir applesauce into plain or vanilla yogurt, or try it with ricotta or cottage cheese. Top with nuts, dried fruits, whole grain cereal or granola. Eat applesauce with a favorite tangy cheese.
My personal favorites: Manchego from Spain or extra sharp cheddar, but any tangy or sharp cheese will do nicely. Applesauce contains antioxidants called phytochemicals. These antioxidants may help to reduce your risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Making fresh applesauce using the whole fruit, including the skin, helps to ensure that you get the most antioxidants possible. The success of the diversification led to the perpetuation of the joint venture for more than 40 years, until Duffy-Mott eventually introduced its own product, dubbed Super Mott's Prune Juice.
Product expansion continued, as the economic climate blackened. In , Duffy-Mott started making jellies, a product category that found a receptive audience during the bleak years of the decade. The company began producing pure apple jelly, orange marmalade, as well as a number of hybrid fruit flavors, including apple-raspberry, apple-strawberry, apple currant, and apple-orange. Although the line of jellies was discontinued once economic conditions improved, the initial success of the products provided a valuable source of income at a time of widespread financial crisis.
In , Duffy-Mott further offset the seasonality of its cider business by introducing Mott's Apple Juice, a production process that required the development of innovative filtering and pasteurizing techniques. Duffy-Mott's diversification program resumed in the s, fleshing out the company's selection of products. In , the company acquired Clapp's Baby Foods, giving it an industry pioneer. Clapp assumed responsibility for taking care of his young son, a duty that included the concoction of a special diet comprising beef broth, vegetables, and cereal.
Clapp was impressed by the effect his formula had on his son, prompting him to produce batches of his "soup" for friends. Ultimately, the Clapp's production plant in Williamson, New York, was refitted to process Duffy-Mott's apple products, and the Clapp's line was discontinued.
Duffy-Mott's consistent efforts to expand both its range of products and its geographic presence continued in the s. An important step toward the company's commitment toward growth was taken in , when Duffy-Mott converted to public ownership, providing it with working capital of an unprecedented amount.
Before the public offering, there were slightly more than owners, many of whom had held an investment in Duffy-Mott for many years. Immediately after the offering, there were roughly 3, shareholders. The company's new "owners" were soon gratified to see their investment make its first step west of the Rocky Mountains. Pratt-Low, founded in , operated as a packer of fruit and vegetables, as well as a national distributor of a line of dietary foods.
The assets included within the acquisition became the Pratt-Low Division of Duffy-Mott, which sold its products through food brokers in 49 states. The division's primary revenue earners were peaches, pears, fruit cocktail, and apricots. During the s, Mott's corporate structure, built up and spread outward during years of development, was streamlined, giving the company a leaner, more efficient profile. Before the reorganization was completed, however, the late s included several important additions to Mott's sizeable stable of products.
In , the company acquired Lord Mott Canning Co. Despite the name "Mott" in both corporate titles, there was no connection between the two companies before the acquisition. Also in , Duffy-Mott purchased the Tilghman Packaging Company, a packer of seafood products, but the single greatest acquisition of the period was the purchase of a trademark.
Duffy-Mott acquired the rights for Clamato and reformulated it as a clam-and-tomato-flavored cocktail. The addition of Clamato to the company's portfolio soon led to the introduction of Beefamato and Nutramato, but the importance of the two sister products paled in importance to the lasting impact of Clamato on the fortunes of Mott's. By the end of the century, Clamato figured as a signature product, occupying much of management's attention and accounting for a sizeable portion of Mott's' annual revenue.
The reorganization that occurred during the mids was precipitated by the beginning of a new era at Mott's. One outcome of the company's growing stature within its industry was the attraction it drew from larger suitors seeking to aggrandize their operations. Conglomerates coveted Mott's, and after Mott's shareholders voiced their approval, the American Tobacco Company acquired the company.
Subsequent to the acquisition, Duffy-Mott became a subsidiary of the conglomerate American Brands, Inc. Duffy-Mott's new owners soon ordered the consolidation of the company's facilities, which prompted sweeping changes. After the consolidation, the company's physical presence was reduced to two plants, the facility in Williamson--a vestige of the Clapp's Baby Foods acquisition--and the facility in Aspers, Pennsylvania.
Okay…so Dr. MOTTS apple juice as a kid it used to make me throw up and get a head ache…hmmmm, do I have a claim as I used to drink it like water? Stuff that in your…. Who got paid off in the FDA? Where is our quality control?
Why are we NOT using apples in America where our people need jobs? Now we are poisoning our children? WRITE your congressman! So, if you see children coming through the E. I just returned all my Motts apple juice to Costco! Next to the Motts, their is a Costco brand Kirkland apple juice. That was good enought for me. This juice is a little more expensive than Motts, but you pay for what you get.
Kirkland juice tasted crisper and les tart than the Motts. Just let the market forces correct problems: what market foces is he talking about? Briana J. September 14, Is this juice boxes, gallon containers, or all of their products? September 13, How much would one have to consume to cause health problems? July 27, Buy US Grown! Every thing is grown in the united states, NOT china and other countries!!!!
July 22, Buy apple juice in the autumn from local orchards. They will import ingredients whenever it suits them with total disregard for the consumer. Better yet, buy locally whenever possible. Know your sources. It is terrible that a food company, who probably wants consumers into the future years, is so callused about the chemicals on food they buy, process, and hope to sell.
At this rate, who will be alive in 50 years? Or certainly not impaired? You are commenting using your WordPress.
