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.

Reading this one because of someone. I’m really enjoying the book. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I plan to after I finish the book.
Thanks @strawberry-milk-angel for helping me pick this book.
When I was in 2nd grade, my best friend had a sleepover for his friends. I wasn’t invited. I wasn’t popular enough, or good enough in sports, or cool enough. We had been best friends for 6 years, we grew up together. Then I was tossed aside. For the longest time, it hurt really bad. Now, it’s just a reminder of how little I’m worth.
Life has taught me that I am just a disposable cup.
Like this cup, I don’t have any value, once someone is done with what they want from me, I get discarded. When people are done with my friendship, or tired of my affection, or don’t need my help anymore, I get left behind. I am sometimes left on the table, or forgotten, or tossed in the trash. But all too often, I end up crushed along the side the road.
