Apple Butter

Directions

1. 1
   Quarter and seed apples; I do not peel.
2. 2
   Cook, covered, preferably without water being sure they don't stick until mushy. Put through blender or food processor for thick sauce.
3. 3
   Add 1 cup of sugar (you can add less if you desire) for every 2 cups of sauce.
4. 4
   Put sugared sauce in a large, deep cooker (I use our canner) in oven at 350°.
5. 5
   I cook for at least 4 to 6 hours.
6. 6
   Cook until it is as thick as you want.
7. 7
   I have cooked it all day.
8. 8
   After it has finished cooking, add the oil of cinnamon to taste.
9. 9
   Just a few drops may be all you need; oil of cinnamon is potent!
10. 10
    Pour into hot, ready canning jars and seal.
11. 11
    The butter is so hot it has never been necessary to can in a canner.
12. 12
    The jars always seal fine.
