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.
