Title: Apple Butter w/Cinnamon & Cloves
Categories: Fruits, Preserving
Yield: 3 servings
4 lb Stayman apples; peeled,
- cored, quartered
3 lb Golden Delicious apples;
- peeled, cored, quartered
1 tb Granulated sugar
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground cloves
1/2 ts Kosher salt
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium
heat, add the apples; cook, stirring occasionally, until
very soft, about 90 minutes.
Transfer the fruit and some of the cooking liquid to a
food processor, and process into a coarse sauce. Add the
sauce back to the pot and cook, stirring often to
prevent scorching, over medium-high heat, about 1 hour.
Lower the heat and continue cooking and stirring until
the mixture is very thick and dark chestnut in color,
about 2 1/2 hours. Stir in the sugar, or more or less to
taste depending on the sweetness of the fruit
(late-harvest apples tend to be sweeter). Stir in the
spices and salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning as
needed.
Remove the pot from the heat and spoon the apple butter
into clean, sterile pint jars. Cover tightly with a lid
and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
