Ingredients

  • 5 Ibs. tart apples (about 10 lg. apples)
  • 2 C. cider
  • sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. cloves
  • 1/2 tsp. allspice
  • 3 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Directions

Wash, quarter, and remove stems from apples. No need to peel or core. Cook apples slowly in cider until tender and put through a food mill. Add 1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar for each cup of apple pulp. Add spices. Cook in the oven or in a slow cooker for several hours, stirring often. Test for desired thickness by spooning some of mixture on a cold plate. When no liquid oozes around edges, it is thick enough. May be canned while hot, or frozen.
