3 pounds of apples (Fuji, Gala or others), peeled, cored, and quartered
1/2 cup of apple juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Cook apples and apple juice in a 4 quart pot, covered, over medium heat for about 30 minutes. Stir often, to prevent sticking, until apples are very soft.
Place apple mixture in a food processor and process until smooth. For a chunky texture, use to potato masher instead of the food processor.
Grind all spices with a spice grinder and add to apple mixture. Add the sugars and vinegar and mix well.
Return mixture to the pot, cover, and cook over low heat, stirring often, until very thick, about 1 hour.
That is all there is to it. Place in a jar and keep refrigerated or seal the jars by boiling them for 20 minutes.
