Well, it's the middle of August here in Maryland. And I am finding glimmers of Fall. The stores are starting to carry Pumpkin spice everything. Apples are on my mind. Just thinking of the wonderful scents of Fall, cinnamon, cloves, allspice.............Ahh my favorite time of year. In just a little over a month I will be starting my Pumpkin Bread marathon it truly is amazing. My sweet Mother in law could eat an entire bread all by herself. Well here is another sweet recipe to get you in the mood for Fall.
7 Cups of unsweetened good quality applesauce. I have always trusted Musselmans for great quality.
2 Cups of good apple cider. ( Its off to Weber's for some liquid gold)
1 1/2 Cups of Local honey ( it's important to support our local bee keepers)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
In your crockpot, mix all ingredients and cook on low for 14-15 hours or until mixture is a deep brown. Pack while hot into 4 hot pint jars. Process in a hot-water bath for 10 minutes, counting the time after the jars have been immersed and the water comes again to a rolling boil. Remember once you remove, listen for that "pop" that insures you it's processed and sealed correctly.
Note: if you are not willing to go the canning method, this will freeze well. Just be sure it is frozen in a good quality freezing vessel.
Serve on biscuits, bread, or a nice big dollop on cottage cheese is so good!
Hope you enjoy! Sending love! Happy Fall Y'all
