making apple butter





We had a wonderful time this week making my apple butter recipe with 3 and 4 year old adaptations! That is to say that when the kids are the ones doing the measuring of the sugars...the butter gets really really good!
Also a little trick is add half regular sugar and half brown sugar. To my way of thinking when I hear the word *apple* I just think *brown sugar*!
We cut our apple to reveal the stars and placed them right on top before adding the lid.
Yum!

What is that apple slice like after a few months in the can? (I can mine)

Is it mushy, moldy looking or still hard?
