Nearly 5lbs of apples cooked down to just under 2 pints (I think pints.. the second-to-smallest ball jars, filled up 3.5 of them). It's not much at all.. except... 5lbs of farmer's market apples. @heidih, I'll try a little bit with more sweetener, @teonzo I'll try with baking soda, and in both cases we'll see what happens. @Tri2Cook, good idea, thank you! I'll give it a go - maybe combine the sweet and pork ideas, I enjoy a little honey on pork, so perhaps some honey and this ketchapple/apptchup/kepple/appupp butter.
Looking up uses for apple butter, I see some people turn it into a bbq sauce. This might work, too. Apple ketchup is not my thing, kind of like raisins in chocolate chip cookies. Dip apples into ketchup and that's almost what this tastes like 🤢
Thanks for the ideas and help!
