    CARAMEL SPICE APPLE BUTTER


    Source of Recipe


    Mai

    List of Ingredients




    4 lb Rome apples
    4 1/2 lb Granny Smith apples
    1 c Water
    4 c Sugar
    1 ts Cinnamon
    1/2 ts Cloves
    1/4 ts Ginger
    2 tb Lemon juice

    Recipe



    Wash apples and cut into pieces; combine with water in
    a large covered sauce pot. Cook until soft, about 30
    minutes. Press through a food mill; measure 12 cups
    apple pulp; and return to sauce pot. Heat 2 cups
    sugar in a saucepan, stirring until sugar melts and
    turns a rich golden brown. Carefully pour into apple
    pulp. Sugar will crackle and harden. Add remaining 2
    cups of sugar and spices. Cook, uncovered, about 1
    hour or until apple butter thickens, stirring
    occasionally to prevent sticking. Stir in lemon juice.
    Pour hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space.
    Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water
    bath. Yield: 6 half pints.
