October Butter Recipe
This recipe is a family favorite. I make it chunky. Its wonderful on crackers, pork and even alone.
It takes the fruits of our fall harvest and brings them together for a savory treat.
We have tried using Splenda with this recipe.( it worked great!) Adjusting the sugar level in this recipe is also an option. I prefer a less sweet sauce. So feel free to adjust.
A great replacement for plain ol apple sauce.
Enjoy.

- Wash apples and pears. Cut into small pieces, but do not peel or remove cores. Place in large skillet with orange juice and cinnamon sticks.
