Blushing Apple Butter
 |
This Blushing Apple Butter has a hint of pink color due to the addition of cranberries in the recipe. Apple Butter is a versatile dish and great as a dressing, on buttered toast for breakfast, as a side dish or as a condiment. Contrary to the term, there is no dairy in Apple Butter; the term “butter” refers to the thick consistency and texture, and to apple butter’s use as a spread for toast and breads. |
