So my wife and I canned enough quarts of thick applesauce to last a lifetime. Then I found this recipe and dumped six quarts of that thick applesauce into a heavy-bottom, 24 quart kettle and executed a fast version of a triple batch of Slow Cooker Apple Butter. Over medium heat with constant stirring using a straight-edge, wide spatula to move contents from the bottom of the kettle, the six quarts boiled down to about four quarts in less than 90 minutes. Then we canned eight pints of the best Apple Butter I've ever tasted. Thank you Ginger Snap girl!<br /><br />Caution! This method requires constant attention to the stirring process, or the contents will scorch or burn on the bottom of the kettle within minutes. I used a tall kettle to minimize bubbling spatter mess and a long-handled grilling spatula for bottom stirring to avoid being burned from the bubbling, molten lava.Roger A.

I have to admit, I've been wanting to make apple butter for so long, but my family won't let me take it that far. They devour the applesauce stage and that's as far as I get!Lorihttp://www.lemonsandlavender.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320010625470415211.post-4993459093246914152011-11-08T18:25:28.722-08:002011-11-08T18:25:28.722-08:00I love my immersion blender so much, it beats pure...I love my immersion blender so much, it beats pureeing in a traditional blender any day! Your apple butter looks delicious. I've been tempted to make some this fall, but it's always so hard to eat it all (or give it away) since most recipes make quite a bit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131968703642650198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320010625470415211.post-31390068559860496202011-11-07T21:42:38.651-08:002011-11-07T21:42:38.651-08:00Butter sounds so much better than sauce, I noticed...Butter sounds so much better than sauce, I noticed TJ's are selling fig butter but make a big deal on the label about it not actually being butter.
