All-Day Apple Butter
5 & 1/2 lb apples -- peeled and finely chopped
4 cups sugar
3 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. salt
Place apples in a slow cooker. Combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves and
salt; pour over apples and mix well. Cover and cook on high for 1
hour. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 9-11 hours or until
thickened and dark brown, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently
as it thickens to prevent sticking). Uncover and cook on low 1 hour
longer. If desired, stir with a wire whisk until smooth. Spoon into
freezer containers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Cover and refrigerate
or freeze.
“The half-hour before dinner has always been considered as the great ordeal through which the mistress, in giving a dinner-party, will either pass with flying colours, or lose many of her laurels.”
Isabella Beeton (1836-1865)
Fresh beans are classified into two basic categories: edible pod beans and shell beans. Green beans, otherwise known as snap or string beans, are the most popular edible pod bean in the United States. The lima bean is the most common shell bean sold in the United States.
