Crabapples
We have some crabapple trees planted in the orchard to help with pollination, to give the honeybees a little extra nectar, and because goodness gracious, they are just so pretty!
They were starting to drop their fruit, so we picked the rest of the fruit and made these:
They have so much pectin that you don't have to add any, and they jelled just fine. The flavor is really nice too.

I also bought the smaller jars, so I could give them out at Christmas.

Stacy, I heart you big! That is my play stove, but when I was a kid, we had one and I learned how to cook on it. The jars are half pints - about one cup of jelly. :)
K - the jelly is made with 4c. juice and 4 c sugar, so it's actually somewhat sweet, though it has that nice tartness...it's not sour...but keep in mind that I like tart flavors. It's hard to say if you would think it tart or not. Gee, that's not helpful at all!! Sorry.
The jelly looks delicious and I love the little stove.
I remember when my aunt had one and I too learned to cook on it.
That is my dream purchase,to have that stove again!
Hugs and God bless,
