Apple Butter

• 2-1/2 pounds Apples, Peeled, Cored And Sliced
• 1/4 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1/4 cups Water
• 1 whole Lemon, Zest And Juice
• 3 cups Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoons Allspice
• 1/2 teaspoons Cloves

1. Place the apples, vinegar, water, lemon juice and zest in a large oven-proof pot. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Pour the cooked apples into a blender or food processor and blend until well pureed.
3. Return the pureed apples to the pot, measuring as you go. For every cup of blended apples that you have, add 1/2 cup brown sugar.* Add the spices to the pot. Cover the pot and put the whole thing in the oven. Cook for 2 to 3 hours at 300 degrees, stirring every half hour. When you stir the pot, taste for sugar and spices; you may want to add more depending on your preference.
4. Store in the refrigerator, or seal in canning jars to store for months (or years) in your pantry, or give away as Christmas gifts, etc.
5. *You might want to go easy on the sugar to begin; you can always add sugar as you go.
