The first batch of crabapples are pau! I haven’t tasted them yet, but they sure look good! I have one more batch to do, and that will be it for the year. I found out that my friend Steph has a real crabapple tree, and next year we’ll do a trade: fresh for pickled. Sounds like a plan to me!

Here are the crabapples in the canner.

And here is the finished product!

I got 5 quarts, and will probably end up with about 12 total.

Ho da nani!!
