Apple Butter ??
Comments
-
My apple butter is in the slow cooker - lid off - and looking dark brown as the recipe says it should. Reading Caroline's post I am wondering if I should jar or freeze it.
I got my apples from a tree on a bit of public land - no-one else seems to pick them. I chopped them up - after coring - and stewed them. I then whizzed them up to chop up the skin - if I'd peeled them I wouldn't have bothered - and put them in the slow cooker with 8oz sugar to each litre of apple + cinnamon sticks and 1 teasp of mixed spice. It looks and tastes good.
Put it on - sugar melted and boiling - at 6 pm yesterday and took the lid off at 7am. I will follow the recipe and leave it until it is thick.0 -
I just wanted to add to this. I made this today in my slow cooker using cooking apples. I cored the apples, sliced them with skins and filled my large SC. 2 cups of brown sugar, 2 cups of white sugar, half a cup of vingegar and some spices. I used cinnamon & ginger, I filled the spice jar lids up and chucked in. Mixed them all about and left on for about 5 hours on high, then let cool slightly, blended to get rid of any skin bits and put back on low with lid slightly off to let it reduce.
Result, loads of wonderful apple spread which tastes good. Tried some on a scotch pancake as was in a hurry and it's brill. Will be putting in jars and giving as pressies!!0 -
Is sounds delicious & I have an apple tree in my garden which we never seem to use all the apples from, can I just clarify can this be put into sterilised jars & if so how long will it keep - will it be ok in a cupboard or does it need to be kept in the fridge?0

We are still eating the cinnamon apple butter I made 3 years ago :cool: (obviously not the same jar - I made about 3 dozen jars).
I use it spread on cakes,toast, etc, - OH likes to stir it into his porrige or rice pudding. It is also very nice with roast pork.
ETA - I just keep it in the cupboard and then refrigerate any open jars (they usually don't hang around too long, anyway)."Men are generally more careful of the breed(ing) of their horses and dogs than of their children" - William Penn 1644-1718
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended.0
