Apple butter

[Herbie]

Has anyone made apple butter?

I'm trying to think up ideas to preserve apples from my tree. We have a bumper crop this year so I've given away a few bagfulls and have made various pickles, mustards and chutneys. Mum and I chopped a huge load last night for the freezer to keep us in pies and crumble this winter. Mum also made a yummy cinnamon and apple cake.

My mom used to make it. My dad LOVES it. I'll ask if she still has the recipe.

Thanks TastyReuben and Morning Glory I'll give it a go tomorrow. I've also seen an apple and sesame pickle I would like to try.

I never made it, but I've always bought it. it's a childhood favorite of min school, that I took to school in peanut butter sammies.

We always have a big jar of (store-bought) apple butter in the house here.

I think you would like it. It is a spread that you put on some kind of bread. It is sweet, but not too sweet. I think you would like a morning cuppa and a piece of toast with a spread of apple butter.

Here is an explanation and a recipe all in one video from Chef John. Always a link to a written recipe below the video.

Did you see the video I added? Very easy, but it takes all day. But, most of the time, you don't have to actually do anything. You just let it cook.

And then you can try pear butter, and then plum butter, and then pumpkin butter...

Russ

Yup. I have only had apple butter and pear butter. Not a lot different. I don't know about plum.
