Ингредиенты
- 4 lb Fruit (apple, peach, apricot, plum) (up to 5)
- 4 c. Granulated sugar, about (when making apple butter use 1/2 brown sugar) (up to 8)
- 1 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Grnd cloves
- 1/2 tsp Grnd allspice
Инструкции
- This makes about 3 pints of fruit butter
- Wash, peel, pit (or possibly core) and crush fruit saving the juice. Simmer crushed fruit in its own juices add in a bit of water (or possibly apple cider for apple butter) to juice if if should start sticking. Cook till fruit is soft and mushy. Mash and rub the fruit through a sieve (if you have a food processor you can blend it first to making pushing it through the sieve easier.)
- WARNING: if you don't use a sieve your butter will be lumpy.
- Measure the pulp by one cupfuls into a 9x13 baking dish. Stir in 1/2 c to 1 c sugar (depending on the tartness of the fruit) for every c. of pulp . Stir in lemon juice and spices. Spred mix proportionately in pan. Bake in moderate oven 2 to 2 1/2 hrs. The fruit butter is done when a heaping spoonful of it can hold its shape when help upside down. Pack into jars, and let cold to room temp. Cover and chill.
