5 lb Apples, cooking type 1 Lemon; juice & grated peel 1 Orange; juice & grated peel 2 ts Cinnamon 1 ts Allspice 1/4 ts Cloves 1/4 ts Nutmeg 1 1/2 c Apple cider 3 c Brown sugar
Core and quarter apples, but do not peel. Place in crockpot with apple
cider. Cook on high until very soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Put cooked apples
in blender or food processor, and puree. Measure, (there should be about 6
cups). For every cup fruit pulp, allow 1/2 cup brown sugar. Return to crock
pot. Stir in lemon and orange peel and juice, cinnamon, allspice, cloves
and nutmeg. Cover. Cook on high until thick and dark, about 4 hours. At
this point you can put it into hot sterilzed glasses and seal, freeze it it
batches or refrigerate and use within a couple of weeks. We usually
refrigerate since it goes quick around here.
