This is the apple butter recipe that I have been using for years. The apples are cooked with their skins on first so as to get the most flavor and nutrition from the apples. Ingredients:
4 quarts quartered and cored apples, but unpeeled |
3 cups water |
1 cup cider |
5 cups sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon allspice |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
Directions:
1. Cook apples in water until soft; force through a colander.
2. Add remaining ingredients.
3. Cook in a slow oven (275 degrees) for 8 hours stirring and scrapping sides of pan every 1/2 hour.
4. Seal in hot, sterilized glasses.
5. Makes 12 6 oz glasses. Note: 1 peck equals...approximately 10-12 pounds, or 32 medium apples, or 3-4 9 inch pies, or 7-9 quarts frozen, or 4 quarts canned So, I'd guess 10-12 pounds.
