INGREDIENTS
Main Ingredient
- 🍎 10 pounds apples, quartered
- 🥤 4 cups unsweetened apple juice
- 🧂 1 cup white sugar
- 🍶 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 🧂 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 🧂 ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 🧂 ½ teaspoon ground allspice
Canning Supplies
- 6 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings
STEPS
Combine apples and apple juice in a stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a simmer until apples are soft and mushy, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
Spoon apples into a food mill and process into puree while discarding the cores and peels remaining in the mill. Transfer processed apples to a slow cooker.
Cook on High with the lid off until the moisture evaporates and the volume reduces by about half, overnight to 24 hours.
Stir sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice through the apple puree.
Continue cooking on High until mixture mounds on a chilled plate without any water separating from the edges, another 2 to 6 hours.
Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the apple butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top.
Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water to bring the level 1 inch above the tops. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove the jars and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Ensure the seal is tight before storing in a cool, dark area.
