Apple Butter

1. 1

   Cook the apples.

2. 2

   (Measure the water you put in to cook the apples; take that away from the 2 gallons.)

3. 3

   Put apples through sieve.

4. 4

   I put 2 gallons water in big cooker and measure how far this is down from top of cooker.

5. 5

   Then, add applesauce and cook down to the amount water was.

6. 6

   Add sugar and spices.

7. 7

   Be sure to mix sugar and spices very good (dry) before adding to apples, or until thick enough to form a skin on top when a little is put on saucer and cooled off.

8. 8

   Makes a difference in the kind of apples you have.

9. 9

   Some are thicker than others (you have to do a little guessing about the water).

    Don't put in 2 gallons when you start with applesauce.

    It usually takes about a day to bake a big batch. Hope you have good luck.
