Tasty Apple Butter

It might be slow to cook, but it’s well worth the wait. Feel free to add sugar to taste – it all depends on the sweetness of the apples used.

Bon Appétit!

Ingredients

5 ½ pounds red apples

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

4 cups white sugar

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon salt

Preparation:

1. Peel, core and finely chop the apples, then place them in a slow cooker. Mix the sugar, cloves, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl, then pour the mixture over the apples. Mix well.
2. Cover and cook on high for about 1 hour.
3. Reduce the heat to low and leave it for about 10 hours. Make sure to stir it from time to time, until you get a thick and dark brown mixture.
4. Uncover and continue cooking for an additional hour. Increase the smoothness by stirring with a whisk.
5. Spoon the mixture into jars, cover and refrigerate.
