Apple Butter
About this Recipe
It all begins with apples, vinegar and water. Then come cinnamon, cloves, and lemon. Afterwards comes the parade of vessels on which to slather it, from apple butter shrimp or ribs, to turkey and cheddar sandwiches, caramel apple butter popcorn, cakes, and rolls. Simmered slow for a couple hours makes this pot of quintessential fall flavors all the worth while.
