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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 quarts crabapples (may vary)

1 quart sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

  • 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.

  • Put on cap, screwing the band tight.
  • Process in water bath at simmering temperature (180 degrees F) for 20 minutes.
