Apple Butter Recipe

This recipe is a traditional Amish apple butter recipe. An advantage of this apple butter recipe is that it does not make a huge batch.

Ingredients:

4 quarts apples
2 quarts water
1 1/2 quarts cider
1 1/2 pounds sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cloves

Directions:

Wash and slice apples. Add apples to water and boil. Once the apples are soft press them through a sieve to remove skin and seeds. Bring cider to boil, add apple pulp and sugar. Cook until this thickens, stirring constantly. Add spices. Cook until it thickens enough to spread. Pour in jars and seal.
