Preparation
Step 1
Remove stems and blossom ends from the apples before cutting into quarters. Place in large pot including seeds, core and peeling. Add sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. Stir. Let stand until apples release some juice. Cover. Heat slowly. Bring to a boil. Cook uncovered on low heat, stirring often, until apples are tender. Press through food mill.
Step 2
This may be cooked in large pot on top of stove, stirring often. To test for doneness, cool a teaspoon on a chilled plate. It should stay smooth.
Step 3
Pour into hot sterilized jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Seal.
Step 4
Bake pulp in uncovered roaster, 325 degrees, stirring every 30 minutes until thick, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
