Apple Butter

Recipe Ingredients

5 lbs	2270g / 80oz	Apples = (try Pippin, Granny Smith, or Macintosh)
2 cups	474ml	Water
1 cup	237ml	Orange juice
2 cups	474ml	Unsweetened apple cider
2 teaspoons	10ml	Cinnamon
1 teaspoon	5ml	Cloves
1 teaspoon	5ml	Allspice
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Nutmeg

Recipe Instructions

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.
