Caramel Spice Apple Butter

Recipe Ingredients

4 lbs	1816g / 64oz	Rome apples
4 1/2 lbs	2043g / 72oz	Granny Smith apples
1 cup	237ml	Water
4 cups	792g / 27oz	Sugar
1 teaspoon	5ml	Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Cloves
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Ginger
2 tablespoons	30ml	Lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Wash apples and cut into pieces; combine with water in a large covered sauce pot. Cook until soft, about 30 minutes. Press through a food mill; measure 12 cups apple pulp; and return to sauce pot.

Heat 2 cups sugar in a saucepan, stirring until sugar melts and turns a rich golden brown. Carefully pour into apple pulp. Sugar will crackle and harden. Add remaining 2 cups of sugar and spices. Cook, uncovered, about 1 hour or until apple butter thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Stir in lemon juice. Pour hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

This recipe yields 6 half-pints.
