Yield:
12 Servings

Categories:
Fruits,
Jams




Ingredients:





     3 qt Unsweetened Applesauce


     2 lb Granulated Sugar


     1 lb Brown Sugar


   3/4 c  Apple Cider





-----------------------------------SPICES-----------------------------------


   1/2 ts Nutmeg


   1/4 ts Allspice


   3/4 ts Cloves


     3 ts Cinnamon





 The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier


 texture that's best for applesauce.


 Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven (325


 deg F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.


 Add spices. Return to oven and cook 1 hour more. Apple butter requires


 long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.)
