    Preparing to make apple butter now the farm stand is open so I can get some local apples to can with!

      Do you make it on the stove, in a crock pot, or outside in a big pot over a fire? Where I grew up, everyone did the latter, the old fashioned way. Would turn it into a big friends & family get together and take turns stirring.

        The actual apple butter is made in a slow cooker because I don’t have much space. The canning is done on the stove! I might be able to fit both on there but it would be cramped!
