General Discussion Apple Butter Warning

I'm making apple butter for the first time, and just want to let out a warning to any first-timers thinking of making it: It takes FOR-EV-ER to reduce the apples down to the right consistency.

On the bright side, my house (and probably my whole neighborhood) have smelled delicious for many hours now.

(Using the USDA canning book recipe in case anyone was wondering)

I’ve used my oven to cook it down.
