Homemade Canned Apple Butter Recipe

wilsonfamilyhomestead

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs cut apples
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups organic cane sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon (ceylon cinnamon is best)
  • 1/4 tsp ground clove

Instructions
 

  • Wash the apples, then core and quarter them.
  • Blend coarsely in a food processor, and put in a large pot along with the 2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft and the pieces are starting to break down (it will be a lovely soft brown color).
  • Add your sugar, cinnamon and cloves. If it is too thick at this point you can add a little water.
  • Bring to a simmer again and cook until you can scoop up a spoonful and have it stay heaped up.
  • Ladle into hot jars, remember to wipe the rims before adjusting the lids, and lower into the canner.
  • Process pints or half pints for 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
