All Day Apple Butter

Here is our last entry into our Halloween Recipe Contest.  It was sent in by Sarah.  This is what she had to say about this recipe.  "I found this recipe a long time ago when I tasted some made my my roommate and it's just the right time of year for the apple harvest.  It makes the house smell like cinnamon too. - I changed 5 1/2 lbs. apples to one dozen.  In the picture, it is only half done.  I'll find out how it is in the morning ;)"




INGREDIENTS:

* 1 dozen apples - peeled, cored and finely chopped
* 4 cups white sugar
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place the apples in a slow cooker. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Pour the mixture over the apples in the slow cooker and mix well.
  2. Cover and cook on high 1 hour.
  3. Reduce heat to low and cook 9 to 11 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and dark brown.
  4. Uncover and continue cooking on low 1 hour. Stir with a whisk, if desired, to increase smoothness.
  5. Spoon the mixture into sterile containers, cover and refrigerate or freeze.
Thank you Sarah for your entry and Good Luck in the Contest.  I will be announcing the 5 recipes that are the finalists shortly, and then the voting can begin.  Good Luck to all.
