PICKLED CRAB APPLES

I got this recipe from a cooking class I took on "Gourmet Gifts From the Kitchen" at Sur La Table. These small tart pickled apples are excellent served with roast pork or turkey. Beautiful in a basket of homemade gifts. The apples will keep up to 1 year. Once opened, keep them refrigerated.

PICKLED CRABAPPLES

Found this on a hand written card in Mom's collection. I remember her making these. She loved them but only made them a couple of times because she could never find the right apples. A good sound CRAB apple is what is needed for this It makes an interesting addition to a relish tray. The smell of this on the stove is a reminder of "home" for me. Yes, time consuming but worth it.

Yield 5 pints, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 quarts crabapples (may vary)
1 quart vinegar
1 cup water
1 quart sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon clove
1 teaspoon mace
1 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • Make a spiced syrup by heating together the vinegar, water, sugar and the spices loosely tied in a bag. This should be enough syrup for about 5 pints.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • When cool, add apples and heat slowly, being careful NOT to burst the fruit. (If I remember right bring to just a good "steam").
  • Remove from heat and allow to stand overnight.
  • Next morning, remove the spice bag and pack apples without reheating, into clean jars and fill to within 1/2 inch of the top of jar with syrup.
  • Put on cap, screwing the band tight.
  • Process in water bath at simmering temperature (180 degrees F) for 20 minutes.
