18 Ways To Use Our Elderberry Apple Butter

Apple butter is not something I grew up with, we were always a jelly house. I don’t even think I had apple butter until I ate ours. I know, sounds crazy. Since we cook our elixir with fresh ingredients we have the opportunity to make a delicious tea out of the ingredients for a 2nd process. Though the medicinal value is all in the elixir the flavor is still on point. This tea now becomes the base of our apple butter.

In addition to the amazing flavor of the tea, we add real apples (not remade applesauce), local Missouri honey, and a touch of vanilla.

That’s it!

This is why no one can ever recreate this amazing apple butter. No sugar, real apples and our special tea make this one of a kind Apple butter that will convert any previous jelly lover.
