Heritage Apple Butter

4 cups applesauce, *My recipe follows for making homemade applesauce. (Use unsweetened or natural without added sugar if using store bought)

2 cups of white table sugar

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 tsp cloves

1/4tsp allspice

¼ tsp nutmeg

Heat all the ingredients in a saucepan until you see bubbles form. Pull from stove and stir well. Let it cool then pour it in clean jars.

*Recipe for easy applesauce
8 apples – peeled, cored and chopped, 1 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.

In a saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until apples are soft. Allow to cool, then mash with a fork or potato masher and save it in glass jars.

Refrigerate this as this recipe does not include the canning or preserving portion. It was meant to be eaten after it was chilled. I have found that it will last a number of weeks in the fridge. Maw Maw.
