Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

Core and quarter apples, but do not peel. Place in crockpot with apple cider. Cook on high until very soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Put cooked apples in blender or food processor, and puree. Measure, (there should be about 6 cups). For every cup fruit pulp, allow 1/2 cup brown sugar. Return to crock pot. Stir in lemon and orange peel and juice, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and nutmeg. Cover. Cook on high until thick and dark, about 4 hours. At this point you can put it into hot sterilzed glasses and seal, freeze it it batches or refrigerate and use within a couple of weeks. We usually refrigerate since it goes quick around here.
