Recipe: Apple Butter

Apples are cooked in an iron pot and a jug of cider poured over them. Stir slowly and rhythmically. When fragrant steam rises and the apples begin to bubble add sugar and spices. As the apple butter thickens, it takes on a rich brownish-red color and becomes harder to stir. It is ready to pour into containers to keep through the winter.
