~ Apple butter Recipe ~

3 qt Unsweetened Applesauce
      2 lb Granulated Sugar
      1 lb Brown Sugar
    3/4 c  Apple Cider

-----------------------------------SPICES-----------------------------------
    1/2 t  Nutmeg
    1/4 t  Allspice
    3/4 t  Cloves
      3 t  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.)
