-
4 Pints
- Serves:
- 8-10
ingredients
- 3 lbs granny smith apples
- 3 Red Delicious apples
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar
directions
- Prepare jars, lids, and rings; be sure they are sterilized.
- Peel, core, and slice apples into large chunks. If necessary, place in a bath of water and lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a heavy pot, cook the apples and butter over medium heat until the apples begin to soften. Be sure not to burn the butter!
- Once apples are soft, continue cooking while mashing them with a potato masher. Gradually add the remaining ingredients, and continue mashing until the mixture reaches the desired texture. If you like fewer chunks, you could put it through a ricer or food processor.
- Turn the heat up and cook until boiling.
- Place in jars, being careful to keep rims clean. Process for 10-15 minutes in boiling water.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
While losing weight and getting into shape, I've spent a lot of time modifying old recipes to be healthier, and developing a few of my own in the process. I've been cooking most of my life, and I can all of my own jams and pickles. I like to find cheap, low-quality cuts of meat and turn them into something gourmet.
I'm a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay, Alton Brown, and Mario Batali. I've been trying to learn about wines and pairings.
