All Day Apple Butter
About this Cook
I started cooking when I was little and my mom and older cousin bought me a kids cookbook. My 18 mo old daughter is already trying to help in the kitchen. I'm hoping she develops a love for cooking like the rest of my family.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake. I also love to try new foods, as long as my husband will try it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family is 100% German, so we tend to like our German foods (although we'll try anything). We have a lot of handed down recipies from my Great Grandma.
My cooking triumphs
I guess cooking comes really easy to me, so I don't have any real triumphs
My cooking tragedies
None really

All Day Apple Butter
This was really good and soooo easy. I did take some suggestions and modified it a little bit. I have no idea what kind of apples I used because they were from our tree and they were planted before I moved in. But I used 15 apples, 1 c white sugar 1 c brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice (to lazy to find my ground cloves). I did cook it all night, when I stirred it up in the morning the apple chunks on top got much smaller. I used an electric mixer to smooth it out. I canned it in a hot water bath for 15 minutes (partyly because I'm pregnant and didn't want to worry about what my trees might hold). I got 3 12oz and 3 8oz jars.

Cocoa Oatmeal Cookies
I'd rate this this a 5 except I added about a tsp of cinnamon, and used chocolate/carmel chips instead of raisins. I had thought about using dried cranberries instead of the raisins anyway. I'll try that next time. I love the chocolate flavor in the dough, not just the chips.
