Ingredients
- 8 Large Cooking Apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
- 8 Cups Fresh Blueberries
- 2 Cups White Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Ground Allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
- 9 (1 Pint) Canning Jars with Lids and Rings
Directions
- Place apples in a slow cooker. Cook on High, stirring occasionally until apples are softened and broken down about 3 hours
- Add blueberries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves; stir to combine
- Lower temperature to Low. Simmer until apple butter is thickened, stirring often, for 8 hours
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes
- Pack apple butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top
- Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles
- Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water
- Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars
- Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool
- Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (the lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area
