Apple Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 bushel Yellow Delicious apples
sugar
oil of cinnamon

Preparation

Quarter and seed apples; I do not peel.
Cook, covered, preferably without water being sure they don't stick until mushy. Put through blender or food processor for thick sauce.
Add 1 cup of sugar (you can add less if you desire) for every 2 cups of sauce.
Put sugared sauce in a large, deep cooker (I use our canner) in oven at 350\u00b0.
I cook for at least 4 to 6 hours.
Cook until it is as thick as you want.
I have cooked it all day.
After it has finished cooking, add the oil of cinnamon to taste.
Just a few drops may be all you need; oil of cinnamon is potent!
Pour into hot, ready canning jars and seal.
The butter is so hot it has never been necessary to can in a canner.
The jars always seal fine.
