Apple Butter

Apple Butter

5 1/2 pounds apples, peeled and finely chopped
4 cups sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

Place apples in a slow cooker.

Combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt; pour over apples and mix well.

Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark brown, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking).

Uncover and cook on low 1 hour longer. If desired, stir with a wire whisk until smooth.

Spoon into freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Cover and refrigerate or freeze.
