While making a trek into Hocking Hills country I stopped and picked up some Laurelville homemade apple butter. If you haven’t tasted apple butter that is made with the taste of all outdoors, cooked in the open over a wood fire…well, you have missed out on something truly special.
My grandmother always had a jar of this treat on the breakfast table, and I well remember the smooth spiced brown apple butter that we put on fresh bread toast points with our soft boiled eggs in egg cups. My grandfather would read us a selection from “Our Daily Bread” and then we would dig into this homey and sustaining breakfast repast. It was such a good memory to take through the years, and the delicious taste of real homemade apple butter always resurrects it in my mind.

, but I would look for a roadside farm market or stand – or maybe you have apple butter festivals going on near you ?
