Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Sweet Cider Apple Butter

My girlfriend was sick so we are not making our apple butter until the 11th....and this is the one we are going to make. I bought a canning jar book...

Sweet Cider Apple Butter

Yield: about 4 pints

6 pounds apples (about 24 medium)
2 cup sweet cider
3 cups sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves

To Prepare Pulp:

Wash apples. Core, peel, quarter apples. Combine apples and sweet cider in a large saucepan. Simmer until apples are soft. Puree using food processor or food mill, being careful not to liquefy. Measure 3 quarts apple pulp.

To Make Butter:

Combine apple pulp, sugar and spices in large saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook slowly until think enough to round up on a spoon. As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Ladle hot butter into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
