Slow Cooker Apple Butter

Recipe Ingredients

7 cups	1659ml	Applesauce*
2 cups	474ml	Apple cider
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Honey
1 teaspoon	5ml	Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Allspice

Recipe Instructions

* preferably homemade, but a good-quality commercial kind, unsweetened, can be substituted

In a crock, mix all ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW for 14-15 hours or until mixture is a deep brown. Pack while hot into 4 hot pint jars.

Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes, counting the time after the jars have been immersed and the water comes again to a rolling boil.

This is a simple version but it tastes just like the old-fashioned kind, baked down in a copper kettle over an open fire. Sweetened with honey, it has a smooth, smooth texture.

Makes 4 pints.
