Mother started making this after the family moved to the farm. Had to do something with all those apples that were ripe at one time.

2 cups apple cider, boiled down to 1 cup (or 1 cup apple cider vinegar)
4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons allspice
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250.
2. Combine everything and bring to a boil. Cook gently 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Pour into oven proof dish or pan and bake, uncovered in a slow oven, 250, for 2 hours or until thick, stirring occasionally.
4. Pour into hot jars and seal.
5. Comment: if keeping on the shelf used standard canning methods.
