Ingredients
3/4 c Unsweetened apple cider
1/3 c Firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground cloves
1/2 tsp Ground allspice
3 pounds (6 md) apples, peeled, quartered, and cored
Preparation
1. In a food processor, combine the apple cider, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Whirl until all the ingredients are well blended. Add the apple quarters, 2 or 3 at a time, and whirl until the apples are pureed.
2. Pour the apple mixture into a large, nonreactive saucepan. Over moderately high heat, bring the mixture to a boil; reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Uncover the saucepan and cook until the apple mixture is thickened, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer.
3. Spoon the apple butter into 2 widemouthed, warm, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving a 1/2" space between the top of the jam and the rim of the jar. Wipe the rims, cover, label, and date. Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 1 year.
