Apple Butter

• 20 - 24 apples of mixed variety, peeled, cored and chopped small.
• 1 cup local honey
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon clove
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/3 cup water or apple cider

Place chopped apples in large crock pot (if you chop them small enough they will all fit. If not don't worry you can add the rest as they cook down).Top with remaining ingredients.
Toss everything together.
Cover and place crock pot on Low.
Cook whisking occasionally for approximately 20 hours.
After 8-10 hours crack lid to allow some moisture to escape.
For the last 4 hours remove cover and whisk aggressively. Leave cover off whisking occasionally until thick and you can see the whisk marks staying in the butter.
Place in freezer containers (I filled 3, 2.1 cup freezer containers), allow to cool before covering and placing in freezer.
Thaw in refrigerator when ready to use.
