Crabapple Plum Butter
Editor’s Note:
This is the recipe I created when our plum and crabapple trees over produced one
year (and about every year since).
Crabapple Plum
Butter
About 5 pounds of
cored and sliced crabapples
About 5 pounds plums (pitted and skins slipped off*)
apple cider (or juice)*
5 cups sugar
3 tsp ground allspice
4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp salt
Combine sliced apples, plums and just enough cider to cover in a heavy kettle,
cover and bring to a boil. Cook medium heat apples are mushy – 15-20 minutes.
Cool and run them through a food processor. Return to kettle, add sugar, spices
and salt. Mix well. Return to stove and bring to a boil, stir frequently. Reduce
heat and continue to cook and stir apple mixture until thick, about 30 – 40
minutes. Seal in hot sterilized jars.
*If the plums are really ripe, the skins will slip off easily. I use plums from
our yellow plum tree. These plums are sweet and very juicy so I don’t have to
add any cider or juice.
