Serves: 96 people

Recipe Ingredients

5 lbs 2270g / 80ozApples = (try Pippin, Granny Smith, or Macintosh)
2 cups 474mlWater
1 cup 237mlOrange juice
2 cups 474mlUnsweetened apple cider
2 teaspoons 10mlCinnamon
1 teaspoon 5mlCloves
1 teaspoon 5mlAllspice
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlNutmeg

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.
