Apple Butter

This recipe comes from Kim Young who works for us. She brought some in recently and it was yummy! This is not a fast recipe! It takes a lot of cooking time - but it's worth it. Kim says to be patient - it tastes like applesauce until the last few hours.

Ingredients

2 quarts apple cider
4 quarts cored, peeled apples (about 10 medium apples)
1 c sugar
½ c brown sugar
2 c dark Kayro syrup
2½ t cinnamon
1 t ground cloves

Instructions

Put cider in a heavy stock pan and bring to a boil. Cook until volume is halved (approximately 45 minutes).
Add apples and cook uncovered on low heat until smooth, stirring regularly (approximately 2 hours). You can use a masher to help smooth it out.
Add sugar, brown sugar, and Kayro syrup. Heat on high, stirring constantly, until boiling. Reduce heat to low.
Add cinnamon and cloves. Cook on low for an additional 2-4 hours.
To test to see if it is done, drop some onto a plate and let cool. The consistency should be easily spreadable.

I put this recipe under the apple recipes because it uses apple cider. :) This recipe requires the ribs to be marinated at least 15 hours prior to cooking.

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place the ribs in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, then add all of the other ingredients.
Use your hands to rub the marinade into the ribs.
Cover with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator for at least 15 hours. If you can rub the marinade into the meat about every 3 hours.
Once ready, preheat oven to 400 degrees and place the ribs in a large roasting pan.
Cover with foil and cook in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes.
Remove foil and cook an additional 30 minutes.
Turn ribs in pan and cook an additional 45 minutes, or until ribs look sticky and glossy.

This recipe comes from a web site I found called Rock Recipes, from Newfoundland.

Author: Rock Recipes

Ingredients

3 lb pork loin or rib roast
3 large granny smith apples, peeled and cored
3 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ c honey
¼ c apple cider vinegar
½ t pepper
¼ t sea salt
1 t Chinese five spice powder
½ t nutmeg

Instructions

Season the pork with salt and pepper and place roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
Cook roast for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.
While roast is cooking, dice apples (about ¼ inch dice).
Add garlic and olive oil to a large saute pan and cook for a minute or two over medium heat to soften garlic.
Add honey, apple cider vinegar, pepper, sea salt, Chinese five spice powder, and nutmeg.
Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer until volume is reduced by about half.
Increase heat to medium-high and add diced apple. Cook until most of the liquid has reduced off.
After roast has cooked for 30 minutes, spoon the apples over the top. Put roast back in oven and cook uncovered at 350 degrees until internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
Let pork rest for 15 minutes before serving.
