Apple Butter

Apple Butter

This delicious, caramelized spread originated in the Middle Ages as a method of storing apples without refrigeration. Arriving to colonial America, settlers gathered for an all-day affair of slow-cooking and stirring. The event is recollected as a romantic ritual, as girls had their choice of partner. The lucky lad soon became known as her favorite … at least, for the long winter. Thankfully, we’ve modernized with a slow-cooker and immersion blender. While at first glance the ingredient list looks similar to applesauce, a few key differences metamorpihize the spread into something richer, creamier and perfect slathered on toast, alongside your favorite cheese & cracker combination or topping pancakes.
