Apple butter is the subject here, and the record offers little beyond a title, a Creative Commons license, and a Flickr user name, so the picture's details will have to come from its subject. Apple butter is a slow-cooked spread made by simmering cider or fresh apple pulp for hours, often in a large copper kettle, until it thickens to a dark, glossy paste. Families and church groups in the Pennsylvania Dutch country, the Appalachian South, and parts of New England traditionally made it in autumn, stirring constantly so it would not scorch, and the communal work of the "apple butter stir-off" became a social event in many rural communities.
