Apple Butter Recipe From Bubbe's ("Grandmother's") kitchen:
We were "good" for hours while this bubbled and cooked on the stove, and shamelessly begged to lick the spoon! Enjoy!
12 POUNDS of Apples, washed, drained, and sliced. 1 GALLON of Sweet Apple Cider 6 CUPS of (white) Sugar 1 Tbsp. Cinnamon 1 Tsp. Cloves
Cook apple slices in cider until soft.
(Note: Bubbe did not peel the apples, the skin came off when she pressed it through the sieve)
Press through sieve or food mill. Boil until thick enough to heap in a spoon. Add sugar, spices. Boil until thick. Pour hot into jars.
*Variations: Substitue brown sugar (packed firmly) or molassas for a different taste.
