OVEN APPLE BUTTER 
2 qts. applesauce
2 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
Peel of 1 lemon

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients in large deep heat-proof baking dish. Stir 4 or 5 times. Bake 3 to 4 hours until thick and dark. A sample portion spooned out should have almost no liquid surrounded it. Keeps well in the refrigerator for 3 weeks, or can be canned by ladling hot spices into hot sterile jars. Wipe rims, seal in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
