Apple Butter Recipe

Apple Butter Recipes

Ingredients :

2 pounds apples (preferably strongly flavored ones such as Jonathan, Winesap, or Granny Smith

1 cup good apple cider

approximately 2 1/2 cups dark brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground allspice

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp grated lemon zest

2 tsp port wine

Method :

Core the apples and quarter them, but do not peel. Mix with apple cider and cook until soft. Put pulp through a fine strainer. For every cup of pulp, add 1/2 cup dark brown sugar. Then add the remaining ingredients. Cook, stirring the fruit mixture at a low simmer until the sugar is dissolved; do not boil. Continue stirring until the apple butter starts to set. To test for doneness, place a small amount on a plate; when no rim of liquid separates around the edge of the butter, it is ready.

Remove the apple butter from heat, pour into five 8 ounce hot sterilized glass canning jars, and fill and seal.

This is best made with fresh pressed cider-the kind sold at farmer's markets.
