Sherry's Apple Butter

5 pounds Tart Cooking Apples
7 cups Water
2 cups Apple Cider
4 Cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 teaspoon Allspice
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg

Wash and quarter apples. Put them in a large preserving kettle with
the water & cook for about 15 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
Press apples through a fine sieve to make about 2 quarts apple
puree. Boil the cider down to 1 cup and add to the apple puree with
remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook gently for 30
minutes, stirring frequently. Pour into an ovenproof dish or
casserole and bake, uncovered, in a slow oven (250 degrees) for
about 6 hours, or until thick, stirring occasionally. Pour into hot
jars & seal at once.
