Apple Spread Recipe IV

Juice of 1 lemon
Lemon rind; grated
1 1/3 c of packed sugar (brown)
4 lbs of apples; core removed & sliced
3 Tbsps of ginger; grated
1 c of apple cider

Combine the apples, apple cider, sugar, lemon juice and lemon rind in the crockpot. Mix well. Cover with lid. Set heat to low.

Cook ’til apples are really tender (approximately 8-10 hours), stirring occasionally. Add the grated ginger. Stir well. Cover with lid; and continue cooking for 6-8 hours more. Stir the mixture occasionally.

Transfer the mixture into a blender (may need to do it in batches if blender is not big enough). Process ’til smooth.

May be returned to slow cooker ’til preferred consistency, in case blended apple mixture is not thick enough. Let it cool ’til just warm. Transfer to dry sterilized jar with tight lid
