Apple Butter Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

5 lb apples
= (try Pippin, Granny Smith, or Macintosh)
2 cups water
1 cup orange juice
2 cups unsweetened apple cider
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Recipe Instructions:

Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. Put the apples, water, orange juice, and apple cider in a saucepan and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and puree the apple and liquid in a food processor or blender until the mixture is fairly smooth.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Pour the apple mixture into a large baking pan and bake, uncovered, for about 1 hour, or until reduced to half. Stir occasionally. (It's best to have a baking pan with a large surface so the moisture can evaporate.)

Add the spices and stir to blend. Lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees and bake the mixture for 3 hours until very dark and thick. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Place in hot, sterilized Mason jars. Cool and store in refrigerator.

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”

~ Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author.
