Apple Butter

Ingredients

4 lbs. cooking apples
3 c. apple cider
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
3 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. clove
1/2 t. allspice
1/4 t. nutmeg

Directions

Quarter apples and cook until mushy, put apples through a food mill to remove the skins and apples. Combine processed apples and the remaining ingredients in a pan and cook over medium heat until you can drop a spoon full on a cold plate and no liquid forms around the edge. Fill 1/2 pint or pint jars with apple butter. Cover with hot lids and water bath for 10 minutes.
