Apple Butter

Difficulty: Easy             Yield: 7 Cups

Ingredients

• 5 lbs. Royal Gala Apples {Cored, peeled and cut into small pieces}
• 2 Cups White Granulated Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
• ½ Teaspoon Ground Cloves
• ¼ Teaspoon Kosher Salt

Procedure

Place the apples in a bowl. Add the sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt on top. Mix all the ingredients together until the apple pieces are completely covered. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker. Cook on high for 1 hour. Stir with a wooden spoon, then continue to cook on low heat for 9 hours.

Spoon the mixture into sterile jars and fallow canning procedures. Refrigerate or freeze.

For a smooth butter, use a hand blender to dissolve the remaining chunks. The apple butter should be thick with a dark brown color.
