Getting Crabby At "The Palais"........



Hello Dhaaarlings...

As I was saying yesterday... today was "Crab Apple Jelly Day"

I've never made Crab Apple anything before so this was a first for me...

I wondered how a pot full of these...





Could be turned into jars of  this...


 



Beautiful... Pink... Sweet... Apple flavoured jelly

All with just a bit of
 Straining and Stirring and Adding of Sugar...

I was impressed... And it tastes just Divine...


My next mission is to tackle a box of Quinces...

To see if I can't turn them into a paste...

  1. What a beautiful color, we used to put up crab apples in a spicy sweet syrup.

  4. You must have cupboards fit to bursting, Princess!
    And with more to do, too? Wherever do you find the time?

    The colour is just fabulous... I was really pleased...

    Thanks XL

    I have another batch on cooking while I'm replying to your comments.

    Thank you for your links. I was indeed wearing my apple catchers. I never visit an orchard without them... unless of course it is a clothing optional establishment.

    I wonder if a certain Mr Beast could have used a crochet banana cover? You have after all had a bitterly cold winter.

    Mr DeVice

    You are correct... Cupboard space is becoming a premium around here. An I am starting to run short of jars.
    It will be a trip around the opportunity shops this week for more supplies...

    As far as time goes... I don't have a real paying job.
    This sort of activity helps to fill my days.

    Some Mums just have the skills to create delicious treats...

  7. Do you have a pair of QuinceCatchers or do the applecatchers do double duty?
