American Apple Butter Recipe

• 6 apples, peeled, quartered, and cored
• 1/2 tsp each of preferred spices like cloves, allspice, and cinnamon
• 2 cups good cider

1. Fill a preserving-pan with apples.
2. Add flavoring to taste.
3. Cover with cider and boil slowly, stirring from time to time with a wooden spoon until it becomes a dark-brown jam with just enough juice to keep it soft and buttery.
4. Remove it from heat and place in well-covered jars. Allow it to sit for a few weeks.
5. This recipe makes an excellent substitute for butter.
