Hi all, been very busy and my computer imploded for a while, so I haven't been on in a while. Missed you all! I do have a quick question though:
How thick should Apple Butter be? I am currently making a batch and I quadrupled the recipe for Christmas baskets. It said I could quadrup[le it to make a large batch and just cook it for "several hours until thick." How thick is thick. Are we talking a good jam thickness or butter thickness. I was under the impression that it was a spread (atleast that is what I have gotten in the past from the farmer's market) and not a jam. But, will it thicken in the jar after canning?
*sigh* I know. Nothing like waiting 'till the last moment! :/
