Help With Stirring Paddle


Recommended Posts

I was contacted by a friend of mine to make her several stirring paddles for apple butter making.  Below is a picture of a broken paddle she had.  I also have a picture of the end of the paddle.  

The actual making of the paddle will be no big deal.  My problem is choice of wood.
     The wood is very light in weight.
     The wood will be emersed in a very hot citrus mixture.
     The wood can not transfer any of its characteristics to the liquid.

What do y'all think about what wood I should use for this project?  Basswood, Poplar, others????
Thanks for your help
