Can this recipe be doubles
Yes it can 🙂
Can this be frozen once cooked?
I’ve never tried to freeze it before, but I bet it would work. You might need to give it a good stir to mix it back up again after it thaws though.

How many small pint jelly jars will 3 lb of apples make?
I only got 2 pint jars.
Hi this recipe looks delicious and I would love to try it but I do not own an immersion blender. Do you think a hand held mixer would work? Thanks for sharing your recipe! 🙂
I definitely think that will work.
It varies based on how many apples and their sizes.
Depends on the size jars you want to use.
This should last a couple weeks in the fridge but it never lasts that long.
Would I be able to make this without adding sugar?
You certainly could try it. If you do, I would love to hear how it works out.
I ended up trying another recipe (it didn’t have added sugar), but I’ll try this one next time, without the added sugar. Thanks!
I would like to hear about the apple butter with no sugar
I made this last night with apples from the orchard. I used Splenda Brown sugar blend and it was sooo good. I had to make home made biscuits this morning for it. I’m not a big fan of cloves, so I was a little skeptical about the taste half way through the process. But after I blended it and finished cooking, it turned out fantastic. I know I’ll be making this through out the year.
How long can this stay in the fridge? Looks like it’s going to make quite a bit of apple butter!
how long can this stay in the fridge or can i freeze it.
I highly recommend this recipe it’s very tasty and easy to Make
Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed it Heather!
