Well, the start of apple butter! 7ish lbs of apples, 1/2 cup of sugar and brown sugar, couple teaspoons of cinnamon, tablespoon of vanilla, dash of salt, and a bit of nutmeg. Once cooked down and pureed, I’ll can it!

    I let it go for most of a day, at least 8 hours. Buuut I prefer the slow method. I plan around my lack of energy by starting the process, taking a nap while it cooks down, then can it later, usually at night so the steam filled kitchen doesn’t melt me as much!

      That does not make any sense. Just use a pressure cooker. Saves a lot of energy and you wouldn’t have the steam issue. By the way, windows or fans help.
