Murray's Heirloom Apple Butter
  • by Murray's Cheese
  • United States

From a simple mix of Crispin apples, apple cider vinegar, pure cane sugar, apple brandy, cinnamon, and allspice comes Murray’s Heirloom Apple Butter, one of our most versatile preserves. Made with all-natural ingredients, this exclusive spread is crafted in Vermont. The blend of autumnal flavors makes this apple butter a natural match for roasted meats or a savory cheese like Jasper Hill Cabot Clothbound Cheddar.

“To me, this is the purest expression of autumn in edible format. It tastes like just-picked apples with a hint of baking spice, making it perfect to spread on toast, stir into oatmeal, or even mix into the filling of sticky buns on a chilly morning. Try updating the classic cheddar and apples pairing by spreading this on our High Plains Cheddar. Add an Effie’s Oatcake and you’ll be transported to New England in fall.”

Apples, Apple Cider Vinegar, Cane Sugar, Apple Jack Brandy, Cinnamon, Allspice
  • Murray’s Heirloom Apple Butter is one of a set of exclusive jams crafted by a jam maker in Vermont.
  • This jam is made using heirloom Crispin apples, apple cider vinegar, pure cane sugar, apple brandy, cinnamon and allspice.
  • The Crispin apple, otherwise known as the Mutsu, is a hybrid of Golden Delicious and Indo apples.
  • They were first grown in Japan before making their way to the U.S. in the late 1940s.
  • The apples are simmered in cider, brandy, and an autumnal mix of cinnamon and allspice.
  • The jam is made using a small batch apple brandy or applejack sourced from Black Dirt Distillery in Warwick, New York.
  • This applejack is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of four years.
  • Jam as a category is defined by texture. Jam is typically made from thickly-cut fruit that is cooked until it creates a dense purée.
  • Abundant levels of natural pectin are found in in a variety of fruits, including pears, apples, and citrus fruits.
  • High-quality jams, like Murray’s Heirloom Apple butter, use more fruit and are cooked longer to achieve the correct texture and create a more flavorful spread.
  • Murray’s-branded jams are made without added pectin.
  • Mass produced jams often add a high level of pectin extract as an economical filler for their jam or jelly products.
  • Jelly, however, is defined by a clear, bright appearance that’s achieved by adding fruit juice.
