5 cup apples (cooked and mashed)
5 cup sugar
2 tbsp vinegar
Directions
Boil applesauce on high heat, then add sugar and vinegar. I hold the
cinnamon until last 1/2 hour because I think it evaporates some. Cook
on high heat (about 4 hours) until the apple butter is as thick as
you want it when you cool and serve.
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to an increase in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
