A few years ago I planted a "Pink Glow" crab apple tree. This year it had its first good crop of crab apples so I made some crab apple jelly. The "Pink Glow" apples make a beautiful pink jelly.

I used a recipe from Jane Grigson's book "English Food":

Cover the crab apples with water (no need to peel or core them) and simmer gently until they turn to a soft pulp. Strain the juice through muslin. Add 1lb sugar per pint of juice, boil until it reaches setting point and pot in the usual way.
