Type of dish: Condiment

6 pounds apples
6 cups apple juice
3 cups sugar (less if the juice or apples are really sweet)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

Core apples or slice in quarters and take out seeds. In a large, heavy bottom pot, combine the apples and juice. Boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Press through food mill or sieve. Put what comes out in a crockpot or on the stove over low heat. Stir in the spices and sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is as thick as you want.

Water bath can for 10 minutes for a 1/2 pint filled with 1/4-inch head space.
