Savory Apple Butter

By JimMac, www.rovingculinarian.com
The ideal accompaniment to roast pork, turkey and rustic artisanal breads
- Simply peel and core enough apples to fill your pressure cooker half way
- to two-thirds full (cut the apples into large chunks). Toss in a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and about 1/4 cup water (or the minimal liquid recommended by for your cooker). Then add a dash or two to taste
- of sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, etc. (add just enough to give it a hint of spice).
