butter 不一定跟牛有關

有一回去參觀 Amish 農舍,
買了一罐他們自製的 Apple Butter,
很好吃,尤其是拿來『告』吐司、最棒了....

Apple Butter


apple butter 雖然有個 butter 的字在其中,
不過,它卻跟大家所認識的英文字 butter 奶油一點關係都沒有;

apple butter 是從 apple sauce 濃縮而來,

Applesauce


把 apple sauce 再加蘋果汁 (cider) 或者是水,長時間去熬煮、就成了 apple butter。


而 apple sauce 的製作過程也是沒有加奶油的... 就是蘋果、檸檬汁、肉桂、糖做成。
(butter makes applesauce turn stale easily...)


所以,
apple butter 的 butter 跟 peanut butter 的 butter 是一樣的...

butter --
(1) fatty part from milk.....
(2) some soft spreads for breads, like apple butter or peanut butter
(3) any various substances of butter-like consistency
