Ingredients
- 5 pounds apples
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 lemon, zest plus juice
Instructions
-
Wash and clean apples, peel and core, then cut into quarters.
-
Add water to a large pot, place on medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil.
-
Add cider vinegar and apples, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, sugars and spices. Cover pot, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes or until apples are soft.
-
Stir apples, as they need to cook down. Once apples are ready, remove from heat and place apples in a food processor, blending until smooth. Return apples to pot and cook for 6 hours, stirring as needed to keep from burning.
-
Mixture will thicken over time. To check, put a small saucer plate in the freezer, place a spoonful of the butter on the plate and check for consistency. See if it will leave a trail or if it runs back together. Once done, store in the refrigerator.
