Directions
Apple Butter Chai Flavors, All the comforting seasonings of a cup of Chai tea in thick apple butter The sugars in the apple caramelize with the long cooking becoming a deep dark brown No need to PEEL the apples my choices are Winesao, Granny Smith, Gala and or Gravenstein cooking them pureed instead of sliced, you can get more into the crock pot so this will take longer cooking time Making more and making for a very fragrant home and neighborhood! You know Chai means tea? So if you want the tea flavor added, try the optional black tea ingredient Top a pork roast, oatmeal, pancakes, french toast use as sandwich spread

Lift the Jars Out of the Water and Let Them Cool Without Touching or Bumping Them in a Draft-Free Place (usually Overnight) You Can Then Remove the Rings If You Like. Once the Jars Are Cool, You Can Check That They Are Sealed Verifying That the Lid Has Been Sucked Down. Just Press in the Center, Gently, With Your Finger. If It Pops Up and Down (often Making a Popping Sound), It Is not Sealed. If You Put the Jar in the Refrigerator Right Away, You Can Still Use It. Some People Replace the Lid and Reprocess the Jar, Then That's a Bit Iffy. If You Heat the Contents Back Up, Re-Jar Them (with a New Lid) and the Full Time in the Canner. |
