The past two episodes of the Local Food Report have focused on growing apples—what varieties do well around here and how to care for an orchard. This week, Elspeth moves into the kitchen to learn about making apple butter with Mattapoisett cookbook author Karen Covey. Her new book is called The Coastal Table, and is filled with recipes made with foods from the SouthCoast. 

You can find Karen's recipe for apple butter and learn more about the cookbook on Elspeth's blog, Diary of a Locavore.
