SPICED WHISKEY APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• 1. Peel, core, and cut your apples into chunks.
• 2. In a separate bowl, mix together everything but the apples and the whiskey.
• 3. In a small saucepan, bring the whiskey up to a boil over medium heat. Continue to boil while stirring until its volume is reduced by almost half.
• 4. In your slow cooker, layer the apple chunks with the spices (like a spicy apple lasagna).
• 5. After the last layer of apples, pour in the reduced whiskey.
• 6. Sprinkle the remaining sugar and spice mixture over the apples.
• 7. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours.
• 8. Once done, transfer all the apples to your blender. The amount of leftover juice that you transfer with the apples will depend on how thick or thin you would like the apple butter to be.
• 9. Once the apple butter is blended thoroughly, you can store or can it.
• 10. Make sure you follow your canner's safety instructions if canning.

JACK DANIEL'S WHISKEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Whisk all the ingredients together until mixture is well blended.
• Cover; chill until ready to serve.

WHISKEY BUTTER ONIONS

Steps:

• In a small skillet saute onions in the butter until slightly softened (but not too limp).
• Add thyme, then stir in the whiskey and Worcestershire Sauce.
• Increase heat to brown onions a bit and cook to the doneness you like (I like them to still be a little on the crisp side; that's also why I slice them on the thicker side).
• Serve immediately.
