Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 8 -10 apples ( I used gala for a less tart or intense taste)
- 1/2-1 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons cinnamon ( or 4 cinnamon sticks)
- 4 tablespoons allspice
Directions
- Quarter your apples (no need to remove peel or seeds).
- In a large stock pot add your apples and fill with water--just enough to cover the apples.
- Add your sugar.
- Wrap your cinnamon and allspice in a doubled up cheese cloth and tie, and add this to the apples and water.
- Boil on high for one hour (uncovered) checking on it frequently.
- Turn down heat and let simmer for two hours (covered).
- Take off the heat after two hours of simmering and let cool.
- Remove spices and mash up the apples to a pulp like consistency (a potato masher works well for this).
- Once cool pour into a strainer over a large bowl. When most of the juice has drained away, put the remainder of the pulp into a doubled up cheese cloth and squeeze over the bowl until no more juice comes out.
- (At this point you can either restrain the juice to get out the little bits of pulp that remain with a cheese cloth draped inside the strainer to catch them or just leave it like I do).
- You can store in an air tight container in your refrigerator for up to a week or you can freeze it for later use if you like.
