I visited a tree tonight that I have had my eye on for a while. Got everything I could without a ladder whilst in the dark. I now have around 5lb of crab apples... what to do with them?
I thought I would try one to gauge the taste/astringency. A lucky find it seems. Really good apple flavour and quite edible, still of course high on the "tart" scale. I think I would either like to make some crab apple brandy or crab apple cheese. Just found this image on flickr. If I can get some tasty hawthorn berries then I might go for this recipe.
I feel this weekend will involve some serious jar sterilisation.
