Crock Pot Apple Butter

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 pounds apples -- plus
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
During the afternoon or evening we peel, core and slice the apples. The
slices do not need to be thin. We stuff as many slices in the crock pot
as we can, put the lid on and cook them for a few hours on the "high"
setting. We reduce the setting to "low" and let the apples cook
overnight. The next morning, the apples have cooked down by about
one/half and are a rich brown. We then stir in the spices to taste (about
2 teaspns. of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspn. of ground cloves and
because we use sweet apples---no sugar) and let it cook on "high" for a
few hours with the lid off to reduce some of the liquid."
"We prefer our apple butter smooth so we run it through the blender in
small batches. We refrigerate what we need immediately and freeze the
rest."
Canning it in decorative jars makes a fine gift idea.
