Apple Butter Recipe

Apple season is coming into full swing where I’m at so we bought a peck and we’re spending the morning making apple butter, which is magical in its own way if you’ve never had it. Just wanted to share the recipe here. 

Apple Butter:

Yields 3 pints

Ingredients:

4 lbs – 16 medium apples (tart)

4 cups sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

¼ tsp. clove

Directions:

1.    Peel and slice apples.

2.    Cook apples in 2 cups water – until able to mash with potato masher.

3.    Add spices. Cook slowly till pools on spoon – (doesn’t slide off) will be thick –

*If canning to store – process 10 minutes in water bath. Bring water to boil – make sure water covers jars. Wash jars in scalding hot water. Leave jars in hot water until ready to use. Heat lids in pot of water – do not boil. Put apple butter in jars – wipe top of jar mouth – put lid on just until tight. Water bath.

*If not canning, just reduce ingredients and store in fridge.

Finished it. This was a wonderful book.

Why did I wait so long to read this?

Two mini paintings I got to do for @oldolonde a little while ago! Thank you so much for commissioning me, I adore the ideas for both of these lovely seaside Elven cities, and the friendly sea Maia!
