Last weekend we made this year’s batch of crab apple jelly, and this weekend we tried the first of it on some slices of toast. The results were very tasty.
We’re still using up our bumper crop of apples, today combining them with another great hedgerow scavenger fruit, blackberries, to make a delicious breakfast jelly.
A bit of a disaster in the kitchen as, half way through making jam, the bag of fruit pulp falls off the support and into the juice. The mess is almost unbelievable.
We finally got time to make jelly with the apples this weekend. They take a little bit of planning, but jellies are easy, and so long as you can spare a couple of hours on two consecutive days they are an easy weekend project that leaves you with a stash of fruity jam to enjoy at the end.
