Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I was totally going to review a book last night–I was. Only my parents called in a chatty mood, and that distracted me enough that more than one task got put off. The book in question I shall review tomorrow, but since we’re currently experimenting with all things apple, tonight I offer up this Slow Cooker Apple Butter, which is hands down the best of the recipes I’ve tried thus far. It’s flavorful and lovely and I can get past the weirdness of the texture of apple butter, which is one of the reasons I haven’t been a huge fan up ’til now. I was generous with the spices while still using the measuring spoon indicated, and I turned off the slow cooker just before 5 hours, as I recall. (I also tossed the apples in a few splashes of lemon juice.) If you have extra apples and a bit of time, give this one a try!
