All-Day Apple Butter
|
 |
5-1/2 pounds apples, peeled and finely chopped
4 cups sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Place apples in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt;
pour over apples and mix well. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to
low; cover and cook for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark brown, stirring
occasionally (stir more frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking). Uncover
and cook on low 1 hour longer. If desired, stir with a wire whisk until smooth.
Spoon into freezer containers, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Cover and refrigerate
or freeze.
Yield: 4 pints.
