Size Apple Butter

Ingredients:
15 medium−size apples
1 1/2 quarts cider
3 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:
Wash and slice firm tart apples; no need to remove core — just seed and peel. Add cider and boil for
15 minutes or until apples are mushy. Press through sieve (should be about 3 quarts pulp). Gently boil
pulp for 1 hour or until it begins to thicken. Stir occasionally. Stir in spices and continue cooking
slowly for 3 hours or until thickened. Stir frequently. Pour into hot sterilized jars. Leave 1/4−inch
headspace. Seal.
Makes 3 1/2 pints.
