If you own a crock pot and a large pan with a lid that fits tightly, you are in business for storable and giftable apple butter. If you would like my crock pot apple butter recipe and the processing for long term storage instructions, just drop me a line. You won't be disappointed. ANd it does give lots of time for crochet while it's making itself. :-) I just wanted to share with you about my apple butter making.

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:16:09 +0000 http://www.aliciakachmar.com/blog/food/making-apple-butter/#comment-295 [...] I cooked alllll day long on Thanksgiving and made the very pie that graced Martha Stewart’s Living last month! It turned out tasty, but not exactly what I expected, and with the 3 hours+ involved, I’m not sure I’d make it again. Also on the menu were: green been crudites with sage dipping sauce, pumpkin pie, cubed spicy sweet potatoes, chive mashed potato casserole, homemade applesauce and popovers with apple butter.

Popovers have to be one of my favorite foods--and tragically I have been in withdrawl in my post Smith years. The fact that there is an entire cafe dedicated to the delight that is popovers...fills my heart with joy. Yep, I know where my next NYC lunch is going to be at.

I highly recommend trying it! it's good on sweet stuff like scones and pancakes as well as a spread on stuff like turkey sandwiches. two things:
