Made this a gallon of crab apples added rose water and 5 oranges and cinnamon. WOW! 👍🏼👍🏼 it tasted like Christmas. My apples were greenish

I can picture it now. A snowy night in the cabin. Dale and Angel in front of a cosy fire. The smell of coffee and fresh scones baked on the wood stove ...generously slathered in butter and crab apple jelly. Good times. :)

Dale, your jelly is a lovely colour, my mouth is watering! Next time you make some try adding a few branches of rosemary to your apples when boiling...no need to pick the needles as they will strain out in the jelly bag...it gives the apple jelly a wonderfully fragrant flavour and the jelly is simply amazing with roast lamb or chicken (if you eat meat) or with cheeses...Di xx

Than sounds very good Dianne I love the flavour of rosemary.

Looks yummy, beautiful color. I'm going to make this.

I use cheese cloth tied over a broom stick. Those apples are stunning

Grandma made crabapple jelly every year and every year it tasted so good. This video refreshed my memory. Thanks Dale, this was a real treat.

Thank you David I planted two Crab Apple trees two years ago should have my own crab apples in a few years.

Two years ago a friend bought the wrong apple tree, it was a crab apple they did not want it so I planted it. No apples this year but cant wait I grew up on crab apple jelly I love it. Thank you now I know how to make.

Definitely one of the easiest jellies to make. I hope the tree is a true crab apple and not one of the ornamental varieties that have been bred to only produce a berry size apple.

Goodness Dale, this looks wonderful. I'll give this a try. The rooster crowing reminds me of the mornings, during breakfast, growing up. Lovely to hear.

I'm trying to talk my brother-in-law into planting a full size Crab Apple tree or two on the farm. Fast growing. Those apples you have are beauties! This is another recipe where I substitute honey. Always had neighbors with lots of honey :-) There used to be a product that I bought from Walnut Acres ( not in business anymore?) for a pectin product that did not require sugar. Will have to research that again. Beautiful jelly Dale.

Amazing color, When I was a kid we always reused the lids and rings, If the lid was not damaged it was reused, The only thing that can happen is it don't seal, If that happens it goes in the fridge. But I see on youtube everyone seems to always use now ones.

@DaleCalderCampobello

I always did the same thing until a few years ago and several stories of botulism from home canning. Evidently the seal can fail in storage. More serious in canned vegetables than jam or jelly but to be safe now I always used new lids.

I'm watching your video right now and doing it myself. I planted a small crabapple tree in the front of my house in our new place and I decided I would pick them they were beautifully red and very few even had issues with them. I just trimmed off the ends and took out the branch and threw them in a pot wash them off with warm water. Then I put boiling water to the top of the apples and started boiling them and followed your instructions. The apples fell apart sifted it the juice came out of it beautiful. So far we added the right amount of sugar, right now we're ready to let the beautiful juice sit for a half an hour and boil. I just would like to know what to do with the pulp.
