Crab apple jelly, my Mum used to make it, very very nice. Quite a process if I remember rightly, google it.

yes, crab apple jelly, tho one year, i did put a few in a pot with some apples, and stewed them. they were actually quite nice, tho u had to watch the stones... . when making jelly, i do a few jars while it is red, and then put in some green food colouring, just to have a change of colourl.

crab apple jelly - rear and hard to find and the best there ever was made! ! cover 4lb crab apples with 2 pints water, in a large pot. bring to the boil and boil to pulp. then put into a jelly bag/old net curtain/muslin whatever will work well for draining the liquid out of the apples and drain overnight catching the juice in a bucket. the bring to the boil and cook till jelly set : 1lb of sugar to every 1 pint of juice. then pot into steralised hot jars and seal. yum! !

Check the colour of the pips, brown outside = ripe, white = unripe
