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

1

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.

2

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.

3

Cook on High with the lid off until the moisture evaporates and the volume reduces by about half, overnight to 24 hours.

4

Stir sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice through the apple puree.

5

Continue cooking on High until mixture mounds on a chilled plate without any water separating from the edges, another 2 to 6 hours.

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.
