How to Make Spiced Fruit Butter From Equal

  1. Peel, core, and pit approximately 4 cups of your favorite fruit (e.g., apples, pears, peaches).
  2. Slice the prepared fruit into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  3. In a large Dutch oven, combine the sliced fruit, 1/2 cup of fruit juice (apple juice works well), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the fruit is very tender.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 15-20 minutes).
  6. Carefully puree the fruit mixture in batches using a blender or food processor until smooth.
  7. Return the pureed fruit butter to the Dutch oven.
  8. Simmer the fruit butter uncovered over low heat for 30-45 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of Equal (or to taste).
  10. Transfer the fruit butter to sterilized freezer-safe containers or jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  11. Let the fruit butter cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  12. Enjoy this delightful spread on toast, biscuits, crackers, meats, or anything your heart desires!
