Apple Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 qt. cooked apples to pulp
    2 tsp. ground cinnamon
    4 c. sugar
    1/4 tsp. ground cloves
Preparation
    Use apple pulp left from preparing apple juice for jelly. Press through sieve or food mill. Measure pulp. Add sugar and spices.
    Cook until the flavors are well blended, about 15 minutes, to prevent sticking.
    Stir frequently as mixture thickens (if too thick, add a small amount of water to desired consistency).
    Pour hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust caps.
    Process pints and quarts 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
