My grandmother made the BEST apple butter. I miss it…and her.

Christine, what a coincidence! *I* learned about Apple Butter at my mom’s house too! of course, I was about 4 years old at the time… And all I know is gravatars just plain take a while

Ahmoo, I do believe it’s a mutual thing.

Lewis, yes, I’m over the top. And the apple butter is too – on the toast, that is. ok, lame, but so am I.

Dave2, I think that’s my goal. I just bought the big jar and I’m having it every day until I get sick of it.

Michelle, ooh, I remember the intertwined jars well. I thought they were the coolest idea, but then anytime *I* tried making a sandwich with it, I realized that it was hard to spread. I think it’s because I kept it in the fridge and chilled peanut butter isn’t very spreadable. Ruined more than my fare share (haha, get it?) of bread slices.

Abs, good point. I hadn’t thought to check the expiration date, nor did I investigate the ethics of the canned goods dept of Wal*Mart.

Wayne, I had the same problems as Christine. Can you help her out please?

Apple butter is okay.

Wayne, are you sure that bottle ISN’T from the 70′s or 80′s?

“Apple Butter”?? Waddabout “Goober Grape”?! I got all twitterpated when I saw it in the local Fred’s not too long ago. Yummy. Peanut butter and grape jelly already mixed?! A lazy woman’s dream. ;o)

I live in the Apple Capital of the World, and there’s fifty kinds of apple butter in local shops. I like it okay, but it’s easy to get tired of it.

Oh yea, grew up on that stuff…along with frozen fish stick and jello with all kinds of crap in it. Man, you’re way over the top over this stuff. I may have to give it another chance next time I’m in the market.

Just at your mom’s house. There is a new restaurant in our neck of the woods. Texas Roadhouse (I know, we have a small town) and I think they have apple butter for your rolls??? Never seen the Bama one or at the store. We have an HEB Pantry Store, so we probably wouldn’t. You get so excited about FOOD!!! Hilarious…
