Caramel Apple Butter
Caramel Apple Butter
3 lbs apples
1/2 cup water or apple juice (I use unsweetened apple juice)
2 cups white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
21 caramels
Peel, core and chop apples. Add apples and water/apple juice into a large pot. (I used my crock pot.) Over medium high heat cook apples until just tender. Remove apples with a slotted spoon and puree using a food mill, food processor or whatever you have on hand. Discard leftover juice in pot. Return puree to pot. Add the sugar stirring well. Return to medium high heat and cook until mixture bubbles.
*Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently until butter is thick and has a spreadable consistency. Add the ginger, cloves and cinnamon, stirring well. Add the caramels. Turn the heat up to medium low, stirring constantly until caramels are melted. Ladle butter into clean hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space. Seal. Process in a boiling water bath canner 10 minutes for pints, 5 minutes for half pints.
*Using a frozen saucer place a spoonful of butter in center. If no rim of liquid forms, your butter is done.
I got this recipe from Grandma Rosie last year and it was wonderful! Do try it. :-)

So glad you stopped by and commented. I think I look pale... My face doesn't have much colour to it, only when I am cleaning out a stall! Then it's all red. LOL
Thank you coming by again. I hope to hear from you again soon!
Well, have a blessed week!
Love,
Rachel

Dearest Amy,
My but I have been absent for far too long. I just read through your recent posts and I am going to give a few things a try....baking a large batch of biscuits and freezing them sounds terrific....the Apple Butter recipe looks wonderful!
We have been ever so busy just tending to chores here on the farm...I will be glad for winter so that I may have a chance to sit by the fire. I'm tired!
I will say goodbye dear one,
Shan
