This really works well - I made a batch of apple butter this last fall this way only plan on more than 3 hours for a nice thick apple butter - I ran mine for 24 hours so it would be nice and thick. (Oh, and every 2 or 3 hours, as the volume would reduce, I added more applesauce - Worked Great! No long hours of stirring and no burnt bottom... My batch yielded 12 pints (1 case).
Yum... will be making more this year.
