My husband has come home with a bunch of apples he got from a friend. The friend told him they make great apple butter. I've never made apple butter in my life! I don't know what he was thinking but I have two bushels of apples staring me in the face. How do you make apple butter. I don't mind giving it a go but I'm clueless! Help!

I went to an apple festival one fall when I was downstate for school. They made apple fritters, apple sauce and apple butter. Now they were doing the apple butter on a grand scale in these two huge cauldrons and it required someone stirring and stirring constantly as it cooked. It looked like a ton of work, but the end result was delicious.

I usually make mine in a crock pot and it is so easy to do. I'll follow this with a link but I usually put my apples in the night before and let it cook all the next day. Then I put it through the food mill to break up any lumps or coarse particles and then can it in a water bath canner. It's really easy and is so good. Adjust your spices how you prefer based on your first batch. If your apples are going bad quickly, borrow a friends crock pot and use two at once. Don't use any food coloring or anything like that, it's pretty on it's own. Here's the link:

Good web sites everyone! I've got to make some apple butter this fall. I have used up my stores of apple butter that I made last year and my family doesn't like the store bought kind.
