Canning Apple Butter










So..... there was a bumper crop of apples in the North Carolina mountains this year. My Dad's trees were so loaded down with apples that the limbs touched the ground. His trees are totally organic with not pesticides used, so the taste is awesome!! Everytime I would talk to them, Mom would say how Dad picked another 5 gallon bucket full. By the time they got them all home, they had apples coming out their ears. So we decided to can applebutter. Mom had never canned before and neither had my girlfriend Tanya, so I said to come on over and bring your peeler and your jars (the more peelers the better) We spent a whole day canning applebutter. All together we did over 50 jars of butter plus the girls each made an apple pie with a homemade crust. Boy were they tasty after a busy day of canning.
