What is the difference between apple jelly and apple butter? Dose one have to "churn" apple butter?

APPLE JELLY.

Peel and core the apples, and stew them till they are tender, with a pint and a half of water. Strain the liquor from the apples, and to every pint of juice add a pound of fine sugar. Flavor with grated lemon peel, and boil to a jelly.

OK. But if you strain the"liquor" from the apples, you are straining half the fun.
