APPLE BUTTER FOR THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Combine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and cloves in a slow cooker.
• Cook on High until the apples are tender enough to easily mash with a fork, 4 to 6 hours.
• Puree apple mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack apple butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

APPLE BUTTER BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Mix rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Prepare ribs by removing membrane covering the bone (silverskin) as this prevents the ribs from curling as they cook.
• Rub all sides of the ribs with prepared rub. Place ribs in a large plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.
• To prepare on the grill: You will cook the ribs on the UNLIT side of the grill, so place a drip pan under that grill rack. Light one side, close lid and preheat until internal grill temp is 300 degrees F. Place ribs on UNLIT side, close lid and cook for approximately 3 hours-or internal temp of ribs is 170 degrees F.
• Brush with BBQ sauce and transfer to LIT side to crisp and brown the sauce.
• Remove to a serving platter, cover with foil and let the ribs sit for 10-15 minutes. Cut into 2-rib portions.
• To prepare in the oven: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place ribs on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for approximately 3 hours.
• Brush with BBQ sauce and pop under the broiler for about 2 minutes each side. Continue as for grill method.
• To prepare in slow cooker: Cut ribs in 2-rib portions to fit inside the crock. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-5 hours (or until ribs are 170 degrees. Remove ribs and drain off any accumulated liquid in the crock. Wipe the crock dry with paper towels.
