Apple Butter!
-
Well, the start of apple butter! 7ish lbs of apples, 1/2 cup of sugar and brown sugar, couple teaspoons of cinnamon, tablespoon of vanilla, dash of salt, and a bit of nutmeg. Once cooked down and pureed, I’ll can it!

Slow cooking? How long does that take? I’ve used a pressure cooker to make applesauce really fast, but then obviously you’d have to evaporate off a lot of moisture to get butter.

I let it go for most of a day, at least 8 hours. Buuut I prefer the slow method. I plan around my lack of energy by starting the process, taking a nap while it cooks down, then can it later, usually at night so the steam filled kitchen doesn’t melt me as much!

That does not make any sense. Just use a pressure cooker. Saves a lot of energy and you wouldn’t have the steam issue. By the way, windows or fans help.

Awesome!
That’s how my mom and grandmother make it! Thanks for the reminder – I really should make it again… or have a small jar of yours, lol.

While I do ship it to people, the entire first batch is accounted for unfortunately! XD So good luck making your own! It really makes the house smell amazing!
