My thoughts:

I've made a few batches of apple tree tree butter over the years but alone inwards the boring cooker, non the stove top. We like to acquire to the Berkeley Springs Apple Butter Festival where they build the apple butter inwards the town foursquare over a wood fire (although we normally buy it from the cheaper theater around the corner that makes inwards over a wood burn downward inwards a parking lot-- non every fighting picturesque but a buck's a buck also every bit I figure they tin purpose the business) but we didn't build the trip this year. I almost didn't build apple tree tree butter this yr either but Matt bought like a bushel of apples inwards determination month to convey a to an trial also every bit we ended upward amongst a ton of apples leftover. They've been sitting inwards usual coldness storage (aka my enclosed, uninsulated porch) until today when I consider I'd in conclusion build something amongst them.

Since it is straight December also every bit I am over the whole faking I am excited most autumn thing, I consider I'd build a slightly more than festive also every bit seasonally appropriate apple tree tree butter past times times adding a ton of spices also every bit cranberries. This takes it right into winter, right? I'm planning to give these out to friends also every bit theater unit of measurement of criterion right straight also every bit thus I didn't bother canning them but if you lot lot wishing to give them out every fighting gifts (and you lot lot should! alone fools wouldn't dearest a jounce of this sweet-tart spicy goodness) please tin it to acquire far shelf-stable. Don't give the gift of botulisum this Christmas (or Hanukkah!). The cran-apple butter is simply every fighting creamy every fighting the regular but amongst simply a hint of tartness from the cranberries that genuinely takes it to the following level.
