How to Make Apple Butter: Noreen's Kitchen

Greetings! I spend the day making apple butter. I started it on Friday evening and threw all of the apple and pears into my Nesco 18 quart roaster oven. I do it this way because it is easy, it is large and I get at least 36 half pints when I do it this way.

My recipe is 75% apples and 25% pears, peeled and sliced. Add a bit of water to prevent scorching and allow the fruit to cook down for a couple hours. When you check it and the fruit is starting to break down, add your sugar and spices.

I added 5 pounds of sugar to this batch as well as 1 cup of apple pie spice. If you purchase your spices in large containers like at Sam's or Costco, you will find them to be very affordable.
Let the apple, sugar and spice mixture cook at least 8 hours until the fruit becomes very soft. I always blend my apple butter with an immersion blender. It makes quick work of the job and you can do it in the roaster without transferring hot fruit to a blender. After the fruit is blended and smooth, allow to cook for another 2 to 3 hours. Then it is ready to can and process.

I canned mine in half pint jars and got 36 jars. I usually only make this about every two years. I plan on putting several jars on my Etsy shop so I was happy to get such a high yield.

I processed the jars in a water bath canner for 15 minutes and then allowed them to cool.

Now we are all set in the apple butter department for a couple years!

I hope you try this and I hope you love it!

Happy Eating!
