Does apple butter need to be refrigerated after opening? Yes! Make sure that you refrigerate your apple butter after you've opened the can or jar.
Foodborne botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by eating foods that are contaminated with the disease-causing toxin. You cannot see, smell, or taste botulinum toxin – but taking even a small taste of food containing this toxin can be deadly.
Apple butter was originally invented in Limburg, which is present day Belgium and the Netherlands, and Rhineland, present day Germany, during the Middle Ages. As the first monasteries began to form, the idea of apple butter emerged.
botulinum bacteria will never grow in the refrigerator - they cannot grow at temperatures below 12° C source. The non-proteolytic strains can grow at temperatures as low as 3° C. I'd ask you to consider that botulism is not the only type of foodborne illness that can grow in the refrigerator.
YEP! I often use tinned fruit as an alternative to fresh. Tinned pears & apricots do very well, but I'm sure cherries or plums would work, especially if served with custard.

Both cooked and raw apples are healthy, but stewed apples can be particularly helpful for gut health. Even though pectin is present in raw apples too, its effect is more pronounced when the apples are cooked. You know you've released a gut-healing level of pectin when stewed apples develop a gel-like sheen.
If they are big, green, hard, sour and bitter tasting then they are cooking apples. No harm in eating them raw, they just taste a bit too sour for most people. They hold together better when cooked than eating apples and that's pretty much it.
One of the most popular tart apples, Granny Smiths are crisp and quite sour. They're a good all-purpose cooking apple, and their flavor is enhanced when paired with sweeter, spicier apples in pies and crisps.
This apple is best eaten fresh or in salads. Grannys are known for their distinctive green flesh, which sometimes bears a red blush, and their very tart flavor. An all-purpose apple, Grannys work equally well as a snack or in pies and sauce.
This varies from year to year, but usually happens around August or September, depending on location.

Gala. With a crisp bite and a mellow sweetness, the Gala complements any recipe—you can even get away with using less sugar because of its natural sweetness. The crispness helps it retain its shape throughout baking so it doesn't get mealy.
yes..all apples are edible..that's if you mother-in-law don't think you are 'snow white'.. ;) Sweet are dessert apples, the more acidic ones are generally cooking or dual purpose and some are even a bit bitter (cider apples). The only poison in an apple is the seeds. They contain cyanide.
