I'm getting things ready to make some old fashion apple butter. Planning to cook it outside in a copper kettle once I get one. Anyone have any pointers? Maybe watching there grandmother make it?? If only I would have been smart enough to watch my grandmother make it. I have made it in the crock pot and it was very good. Bad thing is I was at the point where I thought I could remember everything ingredients but that ship has sailed. Any input would be a great help
