Apple Butter recipe

[CSP]

Since apples are in season thought I would share a recipe you all could freeze while the price of apples are low

 

Apple Butter

 

4lbs tart apples

2 cups apple cider (I use 2 cups water and juice of 2 lemons because I think apple cider is $$$.)

1/3c cane sugar or 1/2c maple syrup (I have made this for elderly neighbors without sweetners.)

2tsp cinnamon

1tsp ground cloves

1/2tsp ground allspice

 

Cut apples into quarters (do not peel or seed) put into large pot add cider (or the water and lemon) bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 25 min until apples are very tender.

 

Mash apples through a sieve with the back of a wooden spoon. Put pulp into a pot add sugar (or syrup), cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. cook on low heat stirring once in a while, for about 4 hours. Until apple butter is thick.

 

cool and put into freezer containers. Makes the house smell wonderful while cooking.

 

Great on toast or rice cakes, I like it better then jelly.

 

Cottage cheese w/apple butter is a great Amish dish.

Thanks for sharing!

This time of year I love to make homemade applesauce, too! Yes, it makes the house smell wonderful. Gotta run....I have to rescue a frog that just jumped into the pool!!
