How to Make Honey Apple Butter
- Peel, core, and chop 8 pounds of apples (about 12 medium).
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, 1 cup honey, 1/2 cup apple cider, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- **Slow Cooker Method:** Transfer the mixture to your slow cooker. Cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low and cook for 11-12 hours, or until the apple butter has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
- **Stovetop Method:** Transfer the mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 3-4 hours, stirring frequently, until the apple butter has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Ladle the hot apple butter into sterilized 4 pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean and seal with lids and rings.
- Invert the jars for 5 minutes to check the seals (lids should pop and remain concave).
- Allow the jars to cool completely. Once cooled, check the seals again.
