I hope there are alot of Apples this year!
We got some apples last year and we made
canned...........Applebutter.
8 lbs of apples
2 cups cider
2 cups vinegar
2-1/4 cups white sugar
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground cloves
Yield: about 8 to 9
pints
Procedure: Wash, remove stems,
quarter and core fruit.
Cook slowly in cider and vinegar
until soft. Add sugar
and spices, cook with fruit
pulp stirring frequently. To
test for doneness, remove
a spoonful, it is done if the
butter remains mounded on
spoon. Another test for
doneness, spoon small quantity
onto plate. When a rim
of liquid does not separate
around the edge of the
butter, it is ready for canning.
Fill hot into sterile half-pint
or pint jars, leaving
1/4-inch headspace.
Adjust lids and process
according to the recommendations
in table 1.
