Crab Apple Preserves
- Crab apples, peeled & cored
- Alum
- Sugar
Put the crab apples with some alum in a kettle, keeping them scalding hot for about an hour. Take them out, skin and take out the seeds, leaving the stems on. Put in cold water for awhile.
Take the crab apples out and wipe them. Put in a syrup made of as many pounds of sugar as you have of fruit. Let them stew gently until they look clear. Take them out and let the syrup boil longer.
