sarahbyrddFriday night I was gifted with 1 lb. rhubarb and 2 lbs. of apples. Look at the pretty blush on the flesh of some of them.
Saturday they became fruit butter thusly:
Chop rhubarb
chop apples, removing stems but leaving skins, cores and pips
throw all into pot with a cup of water
cook until mushy
run through a food mill to remove the pips and skins
return to pot and sweeten to taste (I used 1 cup of sugar)
Add 4 allspice berries and 4 cardomom pods
cook down until a splotch holds its shape on chilled saucer and no liquid runs out
remove allspice and cardomom
waterbath can in 4 oz or 8 oz jars
Ta-Da!
