Apple Butter

Pare and quarter apples.

cook until very tender with a little water in a cover pot. (I use a dutch oven).

Puree cooked apples. Measure 30 cups into roaster pan.

while still warm stir in rest of ingredients. mix well.

bake at 325 Degrees F for 3.5 to 5 hours. baking time depends on type of apple used and how fast the sauce thickens.

apple butter has a tendency to cook faster around the edges of the pan so STIR OFTEN.

when apple butter is medium thickness, pour into hot sterilized glass jars. Seal immediately. ?
