Photo: Allspiced Apple Butter Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 pound light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice, preferably freshly ground
Directions
Place the apples in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over low heat. Cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the brown sugar and spices; continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very thick, about 30 minutes more. To test for doneness, place a spoonful of the mixture on a white plate and let sit for 20 seconds. If a ring of liquid forms around the apples, there is still too much liquid in the mixture. Continue cooking and testing until no ring forms.

A great recipe and very easy for a first timer. I modified the recipe a little, using dark brown sugar and adding nutmeg and a bit more of the other spices into the mix. I let it stew for the better part of the day on low heat and it came out perfect. Once done and cooled and the hubby tasted it, he just wanted to keep the spoon and keep 'tasting' it.

I made this recipe for the first time, I was looking for something to be able to can and put in baskets for my friends for Christmas along with homemade bread.
The first batch cooked up so well it was easy and turned out great, and canned like a dream.
The next batch I doubled, instead of double apples I used 3 lbs of apples and 3 lbs of pears
and added nutmeg and a pinch of cloves. Everyone that received a Jar of this. Has called and offered to pay me to make them more. Our Parish Priest said " that is the best stuff I have ever eaten". I want to thank food network for the recipe, and for allowing me to create
Shirl's Allspiced fruit compote. Thank you a very bit fan. shirl

I was looking for some jams to make for Christmas gifts. I made this today and,WOW, it is wonderful ! The allspice adds a special touch and I plan to double the recipe tomorrow so I can process 10 jars for gifts.
