#554 - Apple Butter

(by Ruth Garrett - friend)

11 cups applesauce (plain--no added sugar or cinnamon)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
6 cups white sugar
3 tsp. ground cloves
4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground allspice
1/2 cup apple cider

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large pot add all ingredients--stir well. Place pot on a cookie sheet in the oven (to catch the drips). Bake until mixture starts to bubble, then turn oven back to 300 degrees and bake for 5 hours. Remove from oven, let it cool--place into pint jars (makes about 6 jars). If you're not going to use them right away, seal the jars. Keep any open jars refrigerated.
