Apple Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 doz. medium-size apples (6 lb.)
2 qt. sweet cider
3 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves

Preparation

Quarter and stem apples; cook in cider until tender; put through food mill.
Cook sauce down until it stands up on a teaspoon.
Add spices and sugar and cook at least an hour more. Put in jars and process 10 minutes (I use pint jars).
Also, I do this in the late fall after we have a fire in the wood burner so it can cook down on the wood burner.
