My thoughts:

I've made a few batches of apple tree tree butter over the years but solely inwards the tedious cooker, non the stove top. We like to acquire to the Berkeley Springs Apple Butter Festival where they build the apple butter inwards the town foursquare over a wood fire (although we commonly buy it from the cheaper theatre around the corner that makes inwards over a wood give notice inwards a parking lot-- non every chip picturesque but a buck's a buck too every bit I figure they tin purpose the business) but we didn't build the trip this year. I almost didn't build apple tree tree butter this yr either but Matt bought like a bushel of apples inward decision month to bring a to an number too every bit we ended upward amongst a ton of apples leftover. They've been sitting inwards usual cold storage (aka my enclosed, uninsulated porch) until today when I consider I'd in conclusion build something amongst them.

Since it is straight December too every bit I am over the whole faking I am excited most autumn thing, I consider I'd build a slightly more than festive too every bit seasonally appropriate apple tree tree butter yesteryear times adding a ton of spices too every bit cranberries. This takes it right into winter, right? I'm planning to give these out to friends too every bit identify unit of measurement of measuring right straight too every bit therefore I didn't bother canning them but if you lot lot wish to give them out every chip gifts (and you lot lot should! solely fools wouldn't dearest a jounce of this sweet-tart spicy goodness) please tin it to acquire far shelf-stable. Don't give the gift of botulisum this Christmas (or Hanukkah!). The cran-apple butter is simply every chip creamy every chip the regular but amongst simply a hint of tartness from the cranberries that genuinely takes it to the following level.
