Here it ...I did in fact get a good recipe from her. Here it is:<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />4 pounds of apples, peeled, cored, rough chopped<br />2 cups apple cider<br />3 cups of sugar, less if your apples are really sweet<br />2 tsp. cinnamon<br />1 tsp. cloves<br />1/8 tsp. allspice<br /><br />Directions:<br />Place cut apples, cider, and sugar into a crock pot on high for one hour. Turn to low setting, stir, and crack the lid keeping it open with a wooden spoon or similar item. This should allow the steam to evaporate out of the crock pot. Cook on low for around 10 hours, stirring around every once in a while. I cooked mine overnight. Cook until it is reduced to a very thick sauce like consistency. Using a stick blender, blend up the butter until it is like baby food rather than extra chunky applesauce. Add spices to the butter and cook one more hour on a high setting. Pour into properly prepared half pints. Process for ten minutes in a water bath.<br /><br />I hope you like it, and it works for you!Fabulous Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092518938396834620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125258939596532022.post-17123796225020061252009-09-25T13:09:09.050-07:002009-09-25T13:09:09.050-07:00i'm a lover of gravensteins too.. and your blo...i'm a lover of gravensteins too.. and your blog came up in a search for apple butter recipes... did you ever get a good one from your sister?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277213653423044699noreply@blogger.com
