Directions:Cook apples in the liquid until soft. Pass through a food mill or push through a fine mesh strainer and note how many cups you are getting. You do this so you can determine how much sugar you may/may not need. Add up to 1/2 cup brown sugar for each cup of puree — usually less. Add spices, rind, and lemon juice and cook over very low heat until thick and dark brown. This may take 3 to 4 hours. Can be used within a week or two; if not using by then, be sure to can or freeze.
