Apple Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 lb. apples or enough to make 8 c. thick apple pulp
1/2 c. cider vinegar
4 c. sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Preparation

Core and slice apples, but do not peel.
Add only enough water to cook apples until soft.
Press through a fine sieve and measure 8 cups pulp.
Add vinegar, sugar and cinnamon.
Cook combined ingredients until mixture remains in a smooth mass when a little is cooled.
This will require about 1 1/2 hours gentle cooking. During cooking, stir frequently to prevent burning.
Pour into sterilized jars and seal while hot.
To eliminate the possibility of mold forming, process the jars 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Makes 5 pints.
