Darlene Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 I used Rome apples for my apple butter that I made from apple sauce. Quote Link to comment
lindahoney Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hey ladies, the apple butter was a big hit. They ate it all! Looks like Fall 07 will be much mo buttah cookin round here. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 That is great, lindahoney. I know Old Pine likes it too, but I don't make it, I do buy some once in a while though. Quote Link to comment
lindahoney Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Well I certainly didn't expect them to eat 12 pints when they have never eaten so much as a tablespoon of it before now. It was just that good! Quote Link to comment
Missa Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 This was the first time I ever did apple butter. It worked out really well. Now I am going to have the extended family taste test to see if it passes there seal of approval. THANKS for the great instructions. I need them, being pretty new to canning I can use all the help I can get. Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 That's awesome Missa...I hope your family likes it! Quote Link to comment
HappyCamper45 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I can't believe the instructions...I feel like I just enter canning for dummies...Thank you so much...Your time and patience is greatly appreciated... Right now I have macs and Granny's ripe....I do have an apple orchard less than 2000 feet down the road and we do trade him veggies for apples so if you had your choice of any apple, which apple would you use for applebutter?

Darlene Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 I would probably use the macs for apple butter/apple sauce and the Granny's for pie filling. Quote Link to comment

ScrubbieLady Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Okay, so I am behind the times. Actually it just seems like I take my applesauce (homemade with sugar and cinnamon) and cook it down until nice and thick and then process. Does that sound right? I have LOTS of fresh apples to use up and a hubby that likes apple butter. Quote Link to comment
sassenach Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) HappyCamper. I am in upstate NY and I believe our local apple orchards only grow Cortlands? I can get them easily for about a dollar a pound so applesauce and apple butter are July's sweet canning I think, along with other fruit jam I hope. Whatever these apples are, they are soft and yellowish inside and make superb applesauce so would be good for the apple butter. I love apple butter! Edited June 14, 2009 by arby Quote Link to comment
jdonnelly14 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Okay I'm about to sound stupid here since I'm clueless, but I thought you said in the other forum that you aren' t supposed to can butter. How is apple butter different so that it can be canned? Quote Link to comment
Leah Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Butter is grease, apple butter is smashed apples, spices and sugar. Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Okay I'm about to sound stupid here since I'm clueless, but I thought you said in the other forum that you aren' t supposed to can butter. How is apple butter different so that it can be canned? When in question, you can look at the ingredients. Like Leah said, butter is an oil base and the apple butter is just apples, sugar and spices. It just spreads like a butter per se, which might be why someone long ago named it 'apple butter'. Quote Link to comment
