Thank you for thinking of me! This sounds so easy! I love using my crock pot!Look what I found for you!!
So Easy Crockpot Apple Butter
12 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples (about 4 pounds)
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
2 T cider vinegar
3 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t ground cloves
1/4 t allspice
1/ t ground nutmeg
Place apple slices in a 3 1/2-4 qt slow cooker. Stir in sugar, water, vinegar and spices. Cover and cook on high heat setting for 5-6 hours. Stir occasionally. When finished cooking, use a wire whisk to stir apples well.
Chill 1 hour or overnight. Ladle apple butter into 1/2 pint storage or freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Seal and label. Store three weeks in refrigerator or up to one year in freezer. Makes 4 1/2 pints.
Can double recipe and cook in a 6 qt crockpot. Might have to cook a little longer. Also, if using apples that are sweet, you can reduce the sugar by 1/4 the amount called for.
Gobble, gobble!! From your favorite turkey, Linda Lou
Crockpots are only beat by microwaves. Both rank right up their with 'The Pill" as the greatest inventions of my day.
You youngsters have no idea what life was before and I am glad for it!!
Gobble until you wobble. I love it!

Sha, you done described my life although I did not have some of them thar luxuries you write about. I grew up dirt poor and so we were way behind the times. There were advantages though. I grew up to love to read and have a wonderful imagination because we could not afford toys. I am glad of it too.
Diva K, you do not miss that which you did not have. Your children will have many things that you could not even dream of but they will also miss out on some of the simple things that you enjoy now. Would you believe that at one time someone wanted to close down the patent office because everything that could be invented had already been? It was in 1899, before automobilies, airplanes, telephones etc. (actually this is an urban myth but many believe it to be true and it is such a good story that it gets repeated a lot, even by those who know it to be false)
Good night you wonderful folks. I have The Grand to watch. Just love them British shows. They are risque and so are I.

Sha, might you be near my age? I remember three TV channels too and that is amazing to my grandkids and then I tell them that they were only on for a few hours a day and really blow their minds. What I love is when they want to know what things their parents did not have in their day and they think their parents are ancient as well.
We had a fur lined room as my dad trapped to pay for our school clothes. Had ginseng drying out on every level surface available. Three hole privy, no moon cut in the door though. I also know what was in the smokehouse as I used to feed it.
SG/having a delightful day today
Sha, sounds as if you and I are no longer hillbilly's but are now Mountain Williams. My grandma did not even have a privy but she sure did have the prettiest flower beds you ever did see! BTW, I am 60 so you must have been reared up further back in the boonies than I.
