Recipe Introduction
The cooking time is an estimate...it could take longer
to cook down to a thick spreading consistancy.
List of Ingredients
16 medium apples (about 6 pounds)
2 quarts water
1 1/2 quarts sweet apple cider (the dark cloudy kind)
1 1/2 lbs sugar (3 cups)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Recipe
Wash and cut apples into small pieces (there should be about 4 quarts).
In a large pot, place apples and cover with water, and cook until soft.
Pour cooked apples and liquid into a food mill (or press them through
a large hole sieve) which has been placed over a large bowl,
to puree them and remove skins and seeds.
Using the same pot you cooked the apples in, add the cider
and bring it to a boil, add apple pulp and sugar;
cook until mixture thickens, stirring to prevent scorching.
Stir in all the spices and continue to cook the apple butter until
it is thick enough for spreading.
Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
