Title: Apple Butter 10

rec.food.recipes archive

3 quarts unsweetened applesauce
 2 pounds granulated sugar
 1 pound brown sugar
 3/4 cup apple cider
  
 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
 1/4 teaspoon allspice
 3/4 teaspoon cloves
 3 teaspoons cinnamon
  
 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.)
