Notes
I take canning jars, place them in boiling water, take them out, place a funnel over the jar, ladle the hot apple butter into funnels until to fill the jars (leaving ¼- ½ inch gap ), place canning lids on the jars (making sure the rim of the jar is clean and no apple butter has gotten on it which will prevent it from sealing) and then tighten the bands over it. About an hour later, I hear a pop and know the jars are sealed.
