applebutterApple Butter is a requirement in my house when my husband makes pancakes, but sadly, I kept on forgetting to buy it at the store. As I was looking through some of my new cookbooks I came across this recipe. Needless to say I will no longer be buying it at the store!

12 cups unsweetened applesauce
31/2 cups sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground cloves

Mix all ingredients in large crock pot. Cover and cook on high 8-10 hours. During the last 2 hours leave the lid off and stir occasionally.
