Gary Frey Applebutter

We Make Apple Butter OK, you get a Gary Frey story . He loved apple butter. His mom use to make it. She put a whole bag of cinnamon drops in each large batch. so Gary said maybe we could make it. so we went to Murphysboro in the fall and got a couple (?) bushels of apples. Oh, then we went to Walmart and bought an apple peeler, then I borrowed crock pots from friends. Well we got all the apples peeled, (I think he wanted Jonathans?) and filled up 7 different sized crock pots. So the new directions said cook them all night then take the lids off the last couple hours, so they'd cook down, less liquid I think. Oh the house smelled wonderful ! So finally it all ended up in a huge blue spotted tin pot which was actually the canning pot. Then he dumped in the cinnamon drops, yeah a whole bag. Then we cooked it down and canned it and he loved it. I had fun....
