This edition: fermented apple-cranberry butter

The slow cooker is the optimal tool to turn crisp apples into a dense, creamy fruit butter. It truly is the easiest preserves you can make.

Author Karen Solomon (Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It) creates a rich caramel sauce that adds creamy sweetness to standard apple butter; spread it on toast, use it to fill pastries, or just eat it with a spoon.
