Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Butter

kingscrown

I love to eat good and healthy food; therefore, I cook.

6 qts unsweetened apple cider

10 lbs apples, washed and quartered

4 lbs sugar

2 T ground allspice

2 T ground cloves

3 T ground cinnamon

Boil the cider for 20 minutes. Put the apples into the kettle with the cider and cook until the apples are very tender. Press through a sieve to remove the skins and seeds.

Add the sugar and spices to the pulp. Cook until as thick as desired (a soft paste); stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Pour into crocks or glass jars.
