4 qt. quartered and cored apples
3 c. water
1 c. cider
5 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. cloves

Can use 1 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in place of cinnamon, allspice and cloves.

Cook apples in water until soft. Put through colander. Add remaining ingredients. Cook slowly in 275 degree oven for 8 hours, stirring every half half. Much easier if Mom or Grandma helped here! Pour in hot sterilized jars. Seal. Great on homemade bread, FRESH homemade bread. Makes 6 (12 oz.) jar or 12 (6 oz.) jars.
