Oven-Roasted Apple Butter
Yield: 3
Nutrition Facts: calories 104 calories
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cider vinegar
- 4 lb. apples, stems removed and quartered
- 2 cups light or dark brown sugar
- 11/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
Instruction:
- 1. In a large stainless steel pot, combine the apples, vinegar, and 2 cups of water. Cover, and bring to a boil. Cook for 45 to 1 hour on medium heat, or until apples are the consistency of applesauce. Separate pulp from skin and seeds by pressing the mixture through a food mill or sieve, then discarding the skin and seeds. Put the pulp (you should have about 5 cups) in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe dish. 2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir remaining ingredients into apple pulp. Stirring every 15 minutes, bake for 2 to 2 12 hours, or until apple butter thickens to a spreadable consistency. 3. In the meantime, sterilize the jars and lids by placing the jars in a large pot that has water simmering halfway and the lids in a small pot. Up until use, keep the jars and lids in hot water. 4. One at a time, remove jars from the hot water, fill with jam, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Seal with lids. Put a canning rack or cake rack in the bottom of a large pot, then add the sealed jars back to the pot. If necessary, add more water to cover the jars by an inch. Bring to a boil, and boil 10 minutes. Remove jars from water, and cool.
