Apple Butter Recipe - Cooking Index
| 5 lbs | Apples | |
| = (try Pippin, Granny Smith, or Macintosh) | ||
| 2 cups | Water | |
| 1 cup | Orange juice | |
| 2 cups | Unsweetened apple cider | |
| 2 teaspoons | Cinnamon | |
| 1 teaspoon | Cloves | |
| 1 teaspoon | Allspice | |
| 1/2 teaspoon | Nutmeg |
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.
