Here are two old newspaper clippings that were pasted onto a lined index card and found in a large collection, date unknown. I’ve typed them below along with a scanned copy.
Helen Evers’ APPLE BUTTER
“Take 3 cans applesauce and to your own taste add brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice. Mix good. Put in 300-degree oven and forget it until you smell it, maybe about 3 or 4 hours. Makes about 3 pints or 3 small jars.”
Except if your kids dip into it before you get it into pints or jars!
WHEN making applesauce try adding grated orange rind–for a different tang and a golden color.
