Amish Apple Butter Barbecue Sauce Food

AMISH APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a large pot with a full ½ cup of water or apple juice. Bring to high heat and reduce to simmer. Cook covered until the apples are soft.
• Blend the apples using an immersion blender, directly in the pot. Then continue to simmer until the apple butter thickens. Note that it will thicken further once it cools.
• Place all the ingredients into a large slow cooker. The size of your slow cooker should be somewhere between 4-6 quarts. The crock should be at least half full to cook properly. So adjust the size of your slow cooker accordingly.Once the apples are soft, you'll blend them with an immersion blender.
• Then vent the lid with the handle of a wooden spoon, and continue to cook on low for 6-8 hours. The apple butter will thicken further as it cools.
• Follow the recipe, but place everything into your pressure cooker with 1 cup of liquid instead of a ¼ cup. Use the manual setting and cook on high pressure.
• Close the steam valve on the lid.
• Cook for 8 minutes and allow a 10 minute natural release.
• Blend the apples until smooth with an immersion blender.
• Press the "slow cook" button. Vent the lid with the handle of a wooden spoon.
• Cook for an additional 3 hours, or until the butter has thickened. It will thicken further in the fridge. Stir a few times during this part of the cooking process.
