" Crock*Pot Slow Cooker Cuisine " Rival, Published 1995


List of Ingredients




12 - 14 apples (preferably Jonathan or Winesap, Jonamacs, or McIntosh)
2 cups apple juice
sugar (see below)
cinnamon
allspice
cloves
1/2 cup sauterne (optional)


Recipe



Wash, core and quarter apples (do not peel). Combine apples and apple juice in lightly oiled Crock-Pot. Cover and cook on Low for 10 to 18 hours or on High for 2 to 4 hours.



When fruit is tender, put through a food mill to remove peel. Measure cooked fruit and return to Crock-Pot. For each pint of sieved cooked fruit, add 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/2 teaspoon cloves; stir well. Cover and cook on High for 6 to 8 hours, stirring about every 2 hours. Remove cover after 3 hours to allow fruit and juice to cook down. Add sauterne for the last hour off cooking. Spoon into hot sterilized jars and process according to standard canning methods. About five, 1/2-pint jars.
