Maple and Apple Butter

This recipe was actually supposed to be using apple juicer pulp, but as I am away from home I do not have access to my juicer. However – you can easily replace 1/3-1/2 of the apples with juicer pulp. As the apples get blended anyway, it will not make a difference to the consistency, so it’s a great way of bulking up the recipe for cheaps.

Description

Apple butter is a little known condiment outside of USA, but once you get to know it, it’s a relationship you will cherish forever.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 67 apples
  • 100 ml maple syrup
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of all spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cloves
  • 1 whole star anise
  • Juice of 1 orange

Instructions

  1. Core and roughly chop the apples. Leave the skin on – the pectin helps set the butter, and you won’t notice it when it’s blended.
  2. Add the chopped apples to a saucepan and add maple syrup, spices and orange juice. Split the vanilla pod and scrape out the beans, and add those, along with the empty pod, to the pan.
  3. Simmer the mixture for approximately 2 hours; 1 with the lid on, and 1 one without. 4
  4. Fish out the vanilla pod and the star anise.
  5. Blend the mixture till smooth – taste to see if it needs more sweetening, as this depends on the apples.
  6. Pour into a jar and leave to set in the fridge. The apple butter will keep for about a week.
