Apple and Plum Butter

• 3lb apples
• 1lb plums
• 12oz

Peel and core the apples and cut them in slices, and cook in very little water until soft. Add stoned plums and cook until soft. Put through a sieve, measure and add sugar. Boil to setting point and put into warm jars. This is a stiff’butter’. It may be used with bread and butter, or if put into straight-sided jars, it can be turned out, sliced and eaten with cream as a ‘spoon sweet’.
