CranApple Butter - CrockPot Recipe
One bag of cranberries
7 - 10 lbs of apples
1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar.
3 cups of sugar.
Juice from one orange and half of the zest
1 tsp of cinnamon,
1/2 tsp each of cloves, nutmeg, allspice.
Oh if anyone is trying to follow this recipe
Start this recipe early in the day or in the evening about
four hours before you go to bed.
Quarter the apples and don't bother to core or peel them.
Put apples and cranberries in the crockpot.
Add the cider and cook on low till the apples are soft.
This can take two to four hours depending on how hot
your crock pot cooks.
If the apples are soft the cranberries will be too.
Using a food mill ladle out the CranApple mixture into
the food mill over a bowl big enough to hold the puree.
Mill it together and return to the crockpot.
Add the Sugar, Spices, and vinegar.
Set crockpot on low and prop the lid open a bit with either
a paper towel, or a wooden spoon. If you wake up in the
night or someone goes to bed late, give it a stir.
When you go to bed put a glass plate or bowel in the freezer.
When you get up it should be at the correct consistency or
very close. Take your freezer plate/bowl out of the freezer and
put a spoonful on it. Return it to the freezer just long enough
to cool down, about a minute or two. It should be the Consistency of very thick applesauce.
Needless to say while all this is going on you should be preparing your jars and lids. Putting on a pot of water to BWB. If you don't know that, I suggest you go look at the file ABC's of canning.
When it's ready leave the crockpot on low and fill jars and seal.
BWB 10 min for 1000 feet and under and add one minute for
every 1000 feet above that. |
