Hi Savannah! It’s typically pretty obvious if it’s apple skin. Could it be cinnamon?

Hi! I made this recipe and have specs in the apple butter, I thought maybe it was little pieces of apple skin but not sure, is this normal? I did also mix it with a wooden spoon so maybe that could be the culprit?

Hi Kathy! Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the process of canning so I can’t advise. 🙁

Can this be put on shelf if water bathed? If so, how long in the canner?

I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much, Debra! As for printing, when you go to the print screen you can choose what you’d like to print. You can remove the notes, nutrition label, or picture. You can also change the font size that you print. Maybe your old copy doesn’t have all of the same information that the new one does?

Hi Susan! That should work just fine. 🙂

Hi Lia! You generally don’t have to reduce the cook time significantly when using a slow cooker. For the last bit of time, you can stir and check it more frequently to make sure it doesn’t get too thick. I hope this helps! 🙂

Would the cook time be the same if the recipe was halved?

Hi Kristine! I haven’t personally tried it, but I think you could add it in with the vanilla. If it thins it too much, you can try cooking it for a little bit with the lid off. 🙂

Thank you so much for letting me know how it worked, Tiana! I really appreciate this!

hi Shane,
I did end up noticing the “grit”, but doing it this method minimized it from my previous pear butters. I did do extra blending and I noted the grit was only noticeable when eaten directly from a spoon, but not noticeable when the butter was on something like a biscuit 🙂

Okay so I did it with it pears, skin on. It turned out great! did everything the same except I used my ninja blender to blend. just like ShaneVA said there is a little bit of “grit”. However, it was so little that you only notice it when you just eat some of it from a spoon, when it’s on something it’s imperceptible! ShaneVA was also correct that the mileage is different, the pears seems to produce a little less of the end product, but nothing extreme. so I personally would say Yes! pears do great with this recipe. Thanks again for your fabulous recipes!

Hi Sandy! I would assume that they are all similar in how they cook, but I’m sure there are some slight variations. Have you watched the video? You can see how mine look after that original cook time. Gala should work just fine. I would just make sure to cut your apples into small enough pieces. 🙂

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the process of canning so I can’t say for sure if anything would need to be changed.
