Attention span is a major problem for me. Thank goodness for timers. I use my iPhone timer for stuff like this, because it is always with me.

Snap. But I don't do timers on phones. I have a timer my wife bought me. In the shape of an egg, I use that at times!

If it does the job, that's all that matters.

I really think you should do this. I think you will like it. And, it will give you and interesting way to spend a day.

Did you see the video I added? Very easy, but it takes all day. But, most of the time, you don't have to actually do anything. You just let it cook.

I used a slow cooker - just forget it for 10 hours and its done.

Really??

Yes, absolutely. I prefer pear butter to apple butter, and I have a jar of plum butter in my fridge right now. Pumpkin is my least favorite, but it's still good.

We have a bumper crop this year

When I was a kid we had a large orchard, My Mum had one of these. The juice is sterilized so if you use sterilized containers it last forever. My Dad used to ferment some of the juice to make Screeeetch or scrumpy. It was named screeeeetch because of the noise you make in the toilet the next day after a session.

I love apple butter. I never bought it or had it as a child. I was looking for a good recipe because I had a bunch of apples. It turned out perfectly and I make it every Fall now. It also keeps well so I give them as gifts with pretty ribbons and add a laminated recipe card in pint Mason jars.

This is the one I use. I'm not into drowning everything with sugar so I cut it in half.

P.S. I'm still getting used to this forum. I have no idea how I missed this conversation.
