    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Wash jars and lids in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water.

    2. Fill canning pot half full of water; add jars and water to cover. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat and simmer.

    3. Place lids in water to cover in a small saucepan; bring water to a simmer. Simmer until ready to use.

    4. Remove and drain jars and lids, one at a time, as needed for filling.

    5. TO MAKE THE JAM: Peel, pit, and finely chop peaches; measure exactly 3 cups fruit.

    6. In a large, heavy stock pot, combine crushed peaches, water, and pectin; stir until pectin dissolves. Let stand 10 minutes.

    7. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that doesn’t stop bubbling when stirred) over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add Splenda Sweetener, stirring until sweetener dissolves. Skim off any foam.

    8. TO CAN THE JAM: Ladle hot jam immediately into prepared jars, leaving ½” of headspace at top of jars. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids; tighten bands.

    9. Place jars on rack in canning pot. (Water must cover jars by at least 1”; add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to a gentle boil.

    10. Process for 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely.

    11. After jars cool, check seals by pressing center of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

    12. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, store refrigerated and use within 2 weeks.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Slice apples into 1-inch x 1-inch chunks and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with Splenda Stevia, spices, salt, and vanilla. Toss together.

    2. Pour apples into a crockpot or slow-cooker, using a spatula to scrape all of the spices into the slow cooker as well. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until apples are falling apart and fork-tender.

    3. Carefully scoop cooked apples into a high-powered blender (or an immersion blender), blending until it’s the consistency you like in an apple butter (smooth or slightly chunky).

    4. Let the apple butter cool, then scoop it into jars. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

    5. Note: Stir some into your morning oatmeal, spread it on whole grain toast, or add as a glaze to your roast beef, turkey, or ham. How much Splenda Stevia you need will depend on how naturally sweet the apples are. Adjust sweetener after blending your apples, adding more if necessary.
