Ingredients

16 cups thick apple pulp
1 cup vinegar
8 cups sugar
4 tsp. cinnamon

Directions

1. Core and slice apples but do not peel. Add only enough water (or can use  apple juice) to cook apples until soft. Press through the sieve and measure out 16 cups.
2. Combine pulp with vinegar, sugar and cinnamon. Cook until mixture remains in a small mass when a little is cooled, about 1 1/2 hours boiling.
3. During cooking, stir frequently to prevent burning.
4. Transfer to sterile jars and seal with paraffin while hot.
