As for apple butter, do you have a slow cooker? I just took two large jars of Musselman's natural, spiced it up, sugared it up, and let it go in the slow cooker on high for almost 18 hours. The last six or so with the lid ajar. |

I just use Steven Raichlens basic cure I saw on project smoke.
1/3 cup kosher salt 3 tbs ground black pepper corns 2 tspn pink curing salts 1/3 cup mixure of brown sugar granulated came surer maple sugar and sucanat sugar. The later was hard to find but found at smoke and fire in town. Also I can order Amazon market. Nothing fancy but it worked last time and when I'm in doubt I do what Raichlen does. That sounds like a good way to do apple butter. Sent from my LGUS991 using Tapatalk |

I've done a couple with maple sugar, but can't justify the cost for the flavor. You actually get much better maple flavor by doing a homemade brown sugar trick by running cane sugar through the food processor with grade B maple syrup. |

No kidding that maple sugar was 30 bucks for 16oz bag. That seems like the way to go when i run out this.

If you want the EXACT same thing for a little more expense, but still less than pre-refined maple sugar, boil down maple syrup to hard ball stage, then whip it like you would divinity until the water steams off and crystals form on the paddle and bowl. It's a workout, but you end up with an intense flavorant. |

About the cheapest you'll get is Sam's Club's $12 jug to make it yourself, and you still have to cook and stir. |

I didn't suggest it was the same thing. I said I get better flavor by using grade B and sugar. I looked into making it myself after the first go round with buying it. Don't think it's worth the expense OR the work to make maple sugar myself. I'll stick with blitzing regular sugar with grade B. |

I ate a hamburger for dinner tonight at a friends house, except it wasn't your average burger.
I was tricked into eating a plant based burger called "beyond meat" and didn't even know the difference until I was told. I'm pretty schocked that it tasted like the real thing |

Late to the party but I always go with a pretty heavy dosing of plain yellow mustard before applying the rub for smoking. You can't taste it but it does seem to keep the meat more moist when it's done, overnight especially.
It's the only way I do it now thanks to GloryDayz. |
