We always made pear butter, never apple butter- don't know why, exactly, maybe just tradition. Have had apple butter as an adult, and actually like it better- the pear butter was really too sweet. Have fun.

My wife's late parents always made applebutter on the farm. Her mother had the recipe memorized.
We were going to make it here at one time, but they had the copper kettle but didn't have the stand for kettle. I could've had one made at work. I guess the stand was lost during one of their moves. Hal

Some pictures taken of me with paddle in hand , and of finished product . Kettle turned out to be a 15 gal we got 10 1/2 gal of applebutter or 42 Qts . Not bad for first time in 30 years .
