Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010  The first time I tried to make hot apple syrup for pancakes I made my basic applesauce recipe (on my website) but doubled the dates to make it sweeter. I blended on high until hot but it turned out VERY thick. It turned out just like apple butter! Now I thin it down with water when I want it to be more "syrupy". But the mistake turned out great too - just not syrup.

When the sauce is thick and blended, I add in a couple of additional pears and pulse just enough to chop them fine, so the jam has a bit of chunky texture-yum! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for making me feel welcome on here and answering my crazy questions. The most important thing I learned is that there is no real recipe, everything will be trial and error with the ingredients I have on hand, flavor and measure to personal taste. All the wonderful recipes out there are great guidelines. I just discovered the file section and that will take me weeks to sort through. Enjoy everyone. Think my next experiement will be a pear/applesauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sounds delicious! Don't you just love when a "mistake" becomes a favorite? That's one of the things I love about the Vitamix-you never end up with something that can't be "repurposed" if it doesn't turn out the way you intended!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 It's not so much a recipe but when I make apple butter I just use my crockpot. I peel and core them then throw them in. When they're soft I mash them to make applesauce. If you leave it longer it turns into apple butter. The whole process is pretty easy. You can sweeten it as you like beyond that. http://www.pickyourown.org/applebutter.htm > > Anyone know of a sugar free apple butter recipe? > > Sent from my iPod > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
