Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 24 | mediums | Apples -- about 6 lbs |
| 2 | cups | Sweet cider |
| 3 | cups | Sugar |
| 1½ | teaspoon | Cinnamon |
| ½ | teaspoon | Cloves |
Directions
To prepare pulp: Wash apples; remove stems and blossom ends; do not peel or core. Cut apples into small pieces. Cook apples in cider until tender. Press through a sieve or food mill. Measure 3 quarts apple pulp.
To prepare butter; Combine apple pulp, sugar and spices in a large saucepot. Cook slowly until thick enough to round up on a spoon. As pulp thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Ladle hot butter into hot jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps.
Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Yield: about 3 pints.
