Crab Apple Jelly

THIS RECIPE PLACED 2ND PLACE AT MY COUNTY FAIR

My Step Father has a crab apple tree. My Mom let him know that i love to make apple jelly. So he told me that i could have all the apples from it that i wanted. {apparently the only ones who want them are the deer} Gleefully Steve Mom and I went over to gather apples. Mom Pushed Matt around in the stroller while Steve and i picked up the ones that had dropped and picked as high as we could reach. There is still probably enough to do this whole process again, and i just might!
Fist i put the apples in my stock pot and filled it with water and boiled the dickens out of them.


Then i put them into a tee shirt that i had sewn the arms and neck hole off. (Basically i made the whole thing into a square bag and cut off the arms and neck after sewing) This is the juice i got from my apples isnt it pretty? a lovely shade of pink.


then i followed the recipe on the pectin instructions to make this beautiful jelly.

7 cups of juice
1 package of pectin
