Myth?

Pennsylvania Dutch 7 sweets and 7 sours is a myth, it does not, and has not existed, except for some in the tourist industry :). Stettlerj 18:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested photo

Regarding the photo request, would the {{cc-by-sa-2.0}} image [1] work? The one in the middle is apple butter, right? If so, it could be cropped to just show that one. --Interiot 02:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Florida epicenter?

I find it rather difficult to believe that anywhere in Florida is the epicenter of applebutter. I've rarely seen apple butter outside of the Appalachian Mountains. It also very commonly made around here where I live (southwestern Virginia) at festivals in extremely huge cauldrons large enough to stuff a dozen children into, not that I recommend cauldrons be used as such. Every store here sells it in large quantities. I've never seen it for sale in Florida. My uncles who live in Florida have never even heard of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.254.189.253 (talk) 13:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

My Mom and her relatives in Iowa used to make it, especially out of the windfalls. But that was some time ago, and I don't think it was anywhere near the scale which required such a large kettle. In the Midwest you can find it at stores and markets which sell local-made products, as well as count fairs. 63.87.189.17 (talk) 16:15, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Black butter?

Both image captions mention "black butter", but this is explained nowhere in the text. Are the captions wrong, or is there an omission in the text? Siebrand (talk) 12:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense removed

The remarks regarding Tecoma Washington and California and the rarity of apple butter within the US and world are ridiculous and contradicted by other, sourced references within this very article. They don't belong and until a source beyond the personal opinion of someone who has not likely been outside their hometown is given, should remain absent from the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.124.24 (talk) 17:50, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

multiple articles with same topic

I've come accross other articles on English Wikipedia that seem to be decribing the same basic recipe here, although there are of course regional variations. Apple butter (which is very focused on the American version) and Fruit butter (which is very short, and Birnenhonig (which is focused on the Swiss version. I think it would be better to create one article that's well rounded and more than a stub, rather than a bunch of very similar foods that don't get more than a few lines. The same basic technique of cooking the fruit until it is very dark and concentrated would be a more solid page, with all the different variations in cooking and fruit type such as appelstroop and Sirop de Liège on that page. I'm going to bring this to the food wikiproject's attention, to get some feedback on how to proceed. I'd be happy to work on this Nihola (talk) 02:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
