From: The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes,

published by the American Diabetes Association.

Apple butter isn't really "butter" at all, but more like a

thick preserve. It makes a luscious spread on toast, muffins,

crepes, and waffles.

Number of Servings: 24

Serving Size: 2 Tbsp

2 1/2 lb Golden delicious apples, cored and cut into eighths

2 Tbsp lemon juice

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground cloves

1/8 tsp ground mace

1 Tbsp brown sugar

1. Combine the apples, 3/4 cup water, and the lemon juice in a

large nonstick pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high hear.

Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain.

2. Push the apples through a food mill or strainer to puree and

remove skin. Return the applesauce to the pot of water; add the

cinnamon, cloves, mace, and brown sugar. Simmer, uncovered,

over low heat until the mixture thickens, about 45 to 60 minutes,

stirring often.

3. Cover and refrigerate. Apple butter keeps in the refrigerator

for 1 week. Freeze for longer storage.
