Apple Butter Recipe

  Jellies and Jams

Ingredients:
3 quarts Unsweetened Applesauce
2 pounds Granulated Sugar
1 pound Brown Sugar
3/4 cup Apple Cider

SPICES
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Allspice
3/4 teaspoon Cloves
3 teaspoons Cinnamon

Directions:
The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier texture that's best for applesauce. Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven (325 deg F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Add spices. Return to oven and cook 1 hour more. Apple butter requires long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.)
