Those are huge crab apples, I have only seen ones that are a max 1" diameter, I have picked some eaters the size you have there size this yr, wrapped the perfect ones in paper and put them in a box, not sure how long they will keep for but I really begrudge buying apples at this time of year. I have some cider vinegar so I might try this method of preserving them too, thanks for the inspiration :)
So hard to find these days where I live but my grandma used to make amazing crab apple jelly. So dang good
Yea they're such an underrated fruit. I've made crab apple jelly in the past, but these are this years winners.
@@DeepintheBunker definitely going to try. 👍
Brings back great Memories of my Mom's pickled crabs :) ..
They're a must do when foraging. I can't wait to pick em again this year.
Loved em when I was a kid!
I think i've learned just how good they are as an adult. Growing up in a city i didn't take notice of what wasn't on the supermarket shelves...

So glad you like this preserving idea. Let me know how yours turn out.
@@DeepintheBunker got a few out of storage a couple of days ago chap,so far so good.
How long do we need to boil?
2 or 3 minutes on a very low heat. Thanks for watching.
