Apple Butter #1, easier, 5 cups
3 pounds tart cooking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 cup apple juice
2-1/4 cups sugar
2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup butter
In heavy saucepan toss together all ingredients. Simmer uncovered
over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft,
about 45 minutes. Remove mixture to bowl. Mash apples and return
mixture to pan. Continue simmering until mixture is smooth, about 45
minutes.
Ladle into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
Makes 5 cups.
(Highly flavored apples such as Jonathons or Winesaps are especially
good in this recipe!)
