Sweet cider apple butter

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
24 mediums Apples -- about 6 lbs
2 cups Sweet cider
3 cups Sugar
1½ teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Cloves

Directions

To prepare pulp: Wash apples; remove stems and blossom ends; do not peel or core. Cut apples into small pieces. Cook apples in cider until tender. Press through a sieve or food mill. Measure 3 quarts apple pulp.

To prepare butter; Combine apple pulp, sugar and spices in a large saucepot. Cook slowly until thick enough to round up on a spoon. As pulp thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Ladle hot butter into hot jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps.

Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Yield: about 3 pints.
