Ingredients
Directions
- Wash, peel, core, and coarsely chop the apples.
- Place apples in a large pot with the apple juice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop; reduce heat and simmer until the apples are soft, about 30 minutes.
- Strain the soft apples and juice through a food mill or press through a fine mesh sieve right into a large crock pot.
- For a finer consistency, strain the pulp twice.
- Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well blended.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 12-14 hours until thickened.
- The butter is done when it mounds up on a spoon and has a glossy sheen.
- The butter is also done when a spoonful placed on a chilled plate does not release any liquid.
- Ladle butter into clean, hot half-pint or pint jars.
- Wipe rims with a damp cloth.
- Place dome lids on the jars and screw on the bands.
- Process jars in a 200F water bath 10 minutes for half-pints, 15 minutes for pints.
