To quote Cezanne. “ I will astonish Paris with an apple”
and astonish he did….
Apple Butter is one of those foods that is almost if not impossible to find in Italy and I do miss it so when there… though I set out to make it and preserve some jars to leave and one to take back .. first a visit to an apple orchard filled with ..delicious, organic, pesticide free apples..just in time apple season had just begun..
Apple butter pairs well with mascarpone cheese on a slice of freshly baked crusty bread from the local forno (bakery) in the morning for a true country farm breakfast…
Hope you can try this recipe..Share your photos on instagram
APPLE BUTTER
*7 cups of homemade applesauce (made with fresh, organic apples)
*2 cups of apple cider
*1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp allspice
Optional: 1 ½ cups honey
You need a slow cooker or crockpot for this. Mix all the ingredients and place in the slow cooker, cover and let cook on low heat for 14 hours or until the mixture is a deep brown color. While the mixture is hot, place into 4 pint sized jars that are hot as well. Place in a hot water bath. Once the water begins to boil after adding in the jars ,time for 10 minutes and remove jars. Cool jars upside down.
