 Categories: Fruits, Spices
      Yield: 6 Servings

       4 md Apples; cored, sliced in
            - 1/4" rounds *
      12    Cloves; whole
      32 oz Red hots (2 bags)
       6 c  Water
       2 c  Sugar
      12 dr Red food coloring; 3 at a
            - time until deep red hue
            - is reached (optional)

  * Red delicious or Jonathan apples work best

  In large saucepan pour water, sugar, and red hots over high heat
  and bring to a low boil.

  Reduce heat to medium/high, add apple slices and let cook at a
  simmer for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes then reduce heat
  to medium.

  Add in food coloring until get a nice bright red color and cook for
  40 more minutes at a low simmer.

  Check frequently that water does not cook away. Add more if water
  becomes to low during the first 20 minutes and again during the
  first 20 minutes of the 40 minutes. But at the end of the full
  hour, only a small somewhat thick sauce should remain.

  Remove from heat, pour into a container and allow to cool.
  Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving if
  wishing to serve cold, or just as delicious to eat it warm when
  serving as a side dish.
