A few days ago when I blogged about apple butter...
I was under the assumption that 14 hours in the crock pot on low would be long enough.
At that point, I portioned it into canning jars and put them in the fridge but I knew something just wasn't right.
For 2 days I tried to convince myself that it wasn't applesauce.I don't even like applesauce!
Finally, I went to the fridge to face my apple mystery..
1 stir of the spoon and there was no denying..
.it was applesauce.
Refusing to accept defeat I hauled out my crock pot and poured the applesauce back in.
I set that baby on low and let it cook for..
two.
more.
days.
My end result...?
Thick,gooey,delicious apple butter.
I started with my crock pot packed full of apples and pears and ended up with approx 8 cups of apple butter.
The amount of reduction was amazing!
I am so satisfied with my end result and feeling victoriously domestic!
Last night Vern used it as a rub for a pork roast and created a mouth watering apple butter bark on the outside,yum yum yum!
Looks like a new season calls for a new hobby...
I just hope my crock pot survives.
