This recipe for apple butter...a favorite in our family.
APPLE BUTTER
From Judi Troyer (from Eldona Conklin)
1/4 t. mace
1/2 t. ground nutmeg
3 t. cinnamon
1 1/2 t. whole cloves
Tie spices in a double cheesecloth bag.
3 lbs. fresh apples, blanched, peeled and pureed
2 1/2 cups honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
Combine ingredients, add cheesecloth bag with spices and simmer until apples cook down to a thick sauce. (This takes several hours.) Remove spices. Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal.
Can substitute apricots, plums, or peaches for fruit.
