"BAKED APPLE BUTTER
Use heavy baking dish. For each cup apple pulp, add: 1/2 tsp. cloves 1 tsp. allspice 2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Bake 275-300 degrees until thick and dark. Can be sealed in jars while hot or cool before freezing."
This is as close as I can come to my grandma's recipe. We always used ground ginger in place of cloves and added a bit of apple cider, enough to keep the apples from burning...the scent in the house is heavenly! |

Oh, Annika, this sounds wonderful! I have a bunch of pears that I wanted to make into pear butter and I will use them and this recipe. Thanks! Judy

Brenda, I might be able to answer that. I made this recipe, using pears from my friend's tree last night. I started with 10 cups of sliced pears and wound up with 6 half pints of finished product, plus about 4 ounces leftover. It was pretty good this morning on my toast :-) Judy

Thank you Judy..  countrygirl
We live a simple slow life in the country. Take time to smell the flowers and enjoy the fresh air.
