Applebutter
5 pounds of apples
1 cups of honey (or to your taste)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
2 cups apple cider
Option
A: Core and quarter apples (leave skins on), fill high power blender
about 2/3rds full and add 1/2 cup apple cider and blend until
smooth. Repeat process untill you have used up apples.
Option B:
Run apples through apple peeler slicer, slice crossways into smaller
pieces and put in pot with apple cider and cook untill very soft.
Option
C: Quarter apples with their skins and cores, and cook untill tender
with the cider. Cool a just a little (so you dont burn yourself) and
then run through a foley mill, or similar mill.
What ever option
you choose, you can now put your apples in a roaster pan in the oven at
250 overnight or all day I like to add the honey and spices towards the
end of the process. Cook untill it is the consistency you like.
Then
your ready to can it, place boiled rings and lids on jars (wipe the rim
of jar first) place on jars, and boil water bath for 10 minutes for
pints. The next day you can take the rings off, check that they
all sealed (jars should have a clear not dull sound when you hit them
with your fingernail) and put in your pantry.
