Over-Night Apple Butter


A friend of mine went apple picking and shared the harvest with me. I've been waiting to try this recipe and now was the perfect time. I think this would make a great Christmas gift for neighbors!

Ingredients:

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
10 medium apples, peeled, cored, and cut into large chunks (about 2 1/2 pounds of any variety or a mixture!)

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a 5-quart electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 10 hours or until apples are very tender.
Puree using an immersion blender (or conventional blender in batches) . Continue to cook, uncovered, on high 1 1/2 hours or until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally. Spoon into jars; cover and chill up to two weeks or freeze.
Delicious on toast or even pork chops!
