After a foray into town and Prestwick..just two hours to do four things, plus a cuppa and wander round the garden centre sale corner (nothing worth having)...which would have taken me a very long day by buses....
Back home to get the apple cheese done.
Some apple butter recipes don't add sugar...some do, 1 apple pulp to ¾ sugar by weight. I use 1:1 as I want this to keep..I have just opened a two years old jar, and the contents are fine. Apple cheese is basically Apple butter cooked down further to get a more solid preserve that you slice more than spread.
Ideally you would put it in jars that have no shoulder so that you may empty the whole jar onto a plate..so easy to slice...and eat with a good strong cheese...or you can take it a little further like Membrillo and then spread it in a lightly oiled flapjack tray...then cut it into squares...
And while I was doing that, two machines were also busy for me, making bread and yoghurt!
The washing up and the floor can wait till tomorrow...
Duolingo French lessons and bedtime for me now!

...something that I've never had.
Wow! I had never heard of apple cheese. It sounds excellent spread on crackers!
Thank you for the information on Apple Cheese, It sounds wonderful.
Plenty of people have eaten quince cheese.. Membrillo..and don't think that you can use other fruits
Beautiful photo, the first one!
I’ve never heard of apple or quince cheese! Sounds excellent with cheese!
I've bought Apple Butter at a grocery store, and it was like applesauce. Your recipe sounds superior. I's like slicing it and serving it with cheese.
You must be happy to have your car back.
It's all I can do to make a sandwich!
I tried to learn French at high school and was pretty bad at it but now 40 years later I can still remember the odd word or phrase. Au revoir.
I like the sound of apple cheese. I've never even seen it or thought of it but it would be very good.
I make membrillo most yesrs but have never tried apple butter. Do you think I could use crab apples?
I think very probably...worth trying!
I am really interested in that apple cheese. Sounds like even something a Debby could do!
Talk to Mattie?
I like quince jelly and cheese too.
I am sorry not to have left a comment for so long or posted on my blog. I have been very ill and only now feel more able to use a keyboard - albeit on a phone! But I have been reading and it helps to see me through. Today I am posting similar comments on many favourite blogs I have read. From a hospital in France…
I might have to try making that! I have straight sided jars too. And plenty of unsweetened applesauce, which would speed up the cooking down process. As you know, we make apple butter every year, but I am always looking for new ways to use apples.
Oh, interesting. I have never heard of apple cheese!
