We make apple butter every time we get a good crop. The trees are loaded this year, so I better get ready - I'm the picker and peeler.

It's kinda trouble free - you peel and chop the apples, add some sugar (wife has a formula), sometimes some cloves, always some red hots (get them at the Kroger pharmacy) and let it cook in the roaster ALL DAY, maybe longer, stirring when convenient. To test it for doneness - put a spoonful on a plate. If any liquid runs out of the spoonful - it ain't done cooking.
When you turn a jar of apple butter, there shouldn't be any liquid showing. If there is, it wasn't cooked long enough.
