>not making your own god-tier apple butter, apple jelly, and apple sauce from your own apple tree

I just had some of this apple butter on a slice of toast. Hoooollllyyy sheeeet. It is some of the best apple butter I've ever had. It's super thick too, like as thick as peanut butter and I have a gallon of it!

What's apple butter?

[Anonymous No.4759756]

>>4759717
Apple butter is apple sauce that has spices and sugar in it and has been cooked until it caramelizes. It will have much less water, be rather dark as you see in the OP image, and taste pretty awesome. It is also pretty expensive when you get the good stuff.

Most people just end up making brown applesauce that has lots of cinnamon in it because they don't cook it properly.

Never heard of that before. What is the flavor profile?

I made some spiced blueberry syrup for breakfast foods from one of my blueberry bushes.

What do crabapples taste like?

[Anonymous No.4759893]

>>4759877
They are just babby apples, but much more tart. They have bright red skins, so they make the jam a really nice color. Tastes like a slightly more tart apple jam. It's really good.

Sauerkraut, grape juice, vinegar, and numerous jellies. Wanna make beer this year.

[Anonymous No.4760412]

>>4759877
It really depends on what type of crab apple they are. The little ones that look like cherries are best when eaten dehydrated. They taste like a fruit roll up then. Otherwise tart as fuck. The larger ones that look like normal apples, but smaller and greener than small apples are pretty tart too. They are great for making apple pectin to make jams, jellies, and preserves.

>spiced vanilla pear butter

I'm fully intrigued.

>>4759815
Pepper jelly is awesome. At least it is canned and will last quite a while.

>>4759819

Very nice. Do you happen to have any photos of your garden? I'm always interested in home brew setups, unless you've always had sort of a mini farm which is awesome too.

Are there sources you'd recommended on the internet or your own personal methods you can share to correctly prepare and cook fruit jams and fruit butters? Would be much appreciated.
