Apple Butter Recipe


Ingredients

3 qt unsweetened applesauce
2 lb granulated sugar
1 lb brown sugar
3/4 cup apple cider

SPICES

1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
3/4 tsp cloves
3 tsp cinnamon


Directions

The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier
texture that's best for applesauce.
Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven
(325 deg F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Add spices. Return to oven and cook 1 hour more. Apple butter
requires long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.)


Servings: 12 servings

The History of Recipes

We can track the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful.

Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and parsley.

For the next few years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books were in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth.
