Apple Butter is not some this we hear about in Australia very often, so I thought I would look up a recipe and give it a try. I puled out the slow cooker and add all the ingredients then left it to work it magic. I added a bit from different recipe that I like the sound of and came up with my own recipe.
11/2 kg Apples
1/2 cup Apple cider
3/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cloves
Let it cook down to the consistency you want, mine was in the slow cooker for about 8 hours, then blend it with a stick blender.
Place into sterilised jars.
Yum....bookmarked this one!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! I have to try this.
ReplyDeleteI love apple butter and have always wanted to make some from scratch. Thanks for the recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteYUM!!! I will have to try this! We are going up north this fall to pick apples and this would be another great recipe to make!! And I imagine it is so delicious on fresh bread! Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteOh how intriguing! I would love to try this.
ReplyDeleteNot heard of this before but by the look of the ingredients, I think I would like it and it's such a good way of using up excess apples. I'll keep this one until autumn and give it a go! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipe. I did try making this once but it didn't work and ended up throwing it all away.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhhh apple butter is one of my favorites - especially good on toast - or peanut butter sandwich - or biscuits - oh so good.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Apple before, I will be interested to hear what you think of it. It sounds easy to make using the slow cooker.

I have honestly never heard of apple butter before!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of it either! What will you use yours for? Julie x
ReplyDeleteI think a bit like apple sauce, but people are saying its great on toast?
DeleteHi there - thanks for leaving a comment on my post - I'm pretty sure the weather you're having over in Sydney at the moment is a bit different to ours - sigh! I love the idea of apple butter - apparently one of the upsides of our cold Spring here in the UK is the promise of bumper crops of apples in the Autumn - this would be a perfect way to use them (great for presents too) Nice to meet you x Jane
ReplyDeleteHave bookmarked this - it sounds delicious, especially with the added cinnamon and ginger. x
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe, it looks like a keeper!
ReplyDeleteXo's
Bet that's tasty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words on my blog x
I love apple butter- when I lived in North Carolina, friends would have an Apple Butter making weekend. Gallons of it was made using a huge copper pan on a fire outside. It was cooked slowly over night and we would all take turns to stir, staying up until the early hours and then continuing in the morning. It was then a great production line of bottling it all. It's lovely on toast, or crumpets, or scones or American biscuits.
