Our big day's a little over than a month away, so I'm strapped for time and ideas. Apple butter may seem a little seasonally off for summer, but I prefer it over jam any day, and who makes the rules anyway?<br /><br />I was curious how big of jars you used. I'm pulling my big 12-quart crockpot to make my batches, but I'm still wondering just how long it will take.

Today I used the full 2 cups of sugar (1/2 white, 1/2 brown) as my son complained that he thought it should be sweeter.<br />I ran across an apple butter BBQ sauce at an apple farm (NW GA is rife with them) and am going to use some of this for that purpose. <br />Congrats on getting all those jars for the wedding!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01253212098371312835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628810193274172212.post-81292440055369957522009-10-14T08:30:55.481-04:002009-10-14T08:30:55.481-04:00All done!

After tomorrow evening's preserving (remember, this is a 24 hour process),I'll have to make them presentable with a nice tie of string and a little card. Will post photos of finished product. I'm curious as to why you decided on apple cider vinegar, as opposed to the lemon...I tried a friend's apple butter today, and they cut the sugar to 1/2 cup but did everything else the same. It was a little more tart, but still delicious.

How are you coming on 75 jars?<br />I used 1/2 C of brown sugar, 2 T of molasses, and 1/4 C cider vinegar for the sugar and lemon juice. I'm with you on the cloves, though. Good stuff!

This is the first ...Thanks for posting this recipe! This is the first time I've successfully made apple butter, and it is delicious! One note: I found it very sweet with 2 cups of sugar, so I only used 1/2 cup in my second batch. Just a bit of sugar really makes the apple flavor pop, I think. <br /><br />Good luck cranking out 75 jars for the wedding! You must have your crock pot running constantly! I would love to get a jar of apple butter as a wedding favor - what a great idea.cmoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108145924180828178noreply@blogger.com
