Last week while I was browsing on
Tasty Kitchen I found a recipe for
apple butter. My Mom would make it every year after we were done with applesauce. Well I had some apples sitting in the garage waiting to be used so I thought what the heck, it is delicious. Jump on over and give it a try. You will love it.
I may have to try this next year. I made some apple butter this year, but wasn't super-pleased with the result; a friend sent me her recipe, but she forgot to include sugar in her ingredient list! I made it, assuming it was supposed to be a sugar-free recipe. And while it is fairly sweet and tasty, it didn't brown and thicken quite as much as I had wanted it to, even though I cooked it (in the crockpot) for a very long time. Now that I know it was supposed to have sugar after all, I'm wondering if that would have helped with the thickening and browning too.
ReplyDeleteI still have bags of apples from our trees in the garage area as well, so I thought goodie - I'd try this, as I'm making a lot of applesauce. But then I saw... canning. I just don't have time to can right now, but I'll save this and maybe some year I'll try it. :) Thanks.
