Apple Butter Tip
Also have a tip for making Apple Butter although I have misplaced my recipe. This will work for any Apple Butter recipe. Mix as usual in a large pan, but instead of cooking it on the top of your stove. Place it in the oven at 375¼ . Stir it occasionally, and just let it bake until it is the thickness that you desire. No more scorching!
Hi....I make the easy strawberry jam with the recipe that comes in the SURE-JELL BOX. It is easy to make and freezes well for up to 6 months. You can also find the recipe on the SMUCKER'S Fruit Pectin box. You can find numerous types of jellies and jams and they even come in No Sugar Added for those of you that do not want to add lots of sugar.
Hi I do farmers market and when we went to some antique shops, we found many fruit presses. We looked around and found the cleanest and workable one. We bought it and have used it on choke cherries and want to make apple juice with it. Wow, it is so easy to use wish I'd have had it years ago. So keep your eyes open. If you make a lot of fruit jam, etc. - Debbie in Ne
I got this recipe from Tavolo.com .. this store has a neat recipe site

These were the original instructions for this recipe.

(less eggs if large, 4 duck eggs). Cook till mixture thickens. (If dried eggs use five, half amount of water and one shell egg).
