List of Ingredients




4 lb. apples
2 cups apple cider
1/2 cup white or brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. allspice





Recipe



For best results use Jonathan, Winesap, Wealthy or other well-flavored cooking varieties of apples.

Wash, remove the stems, and quarter the apples. Cook slowly until soft in apple cider. Put fruit through a fine strainer. Add 1/2 cup white or brown sugar to each cup of pulp. Add cinnamon, cloves and allspice.

Cook the apple butter over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture sheets from a spoon. You can also place a small quantity on a plate. When no rim of liquid separates around the edge of the butter, it is done. Pour into hot sterilized jars.
