    List of Ingredients




    Pickled Crabapples



    6 quarts fresh crabapples, washed and stems removed
    1 cup whole cloves
    1/2 cup water
    3 pounds brown sugar
    1 cup distilled white vinegar
    2 tablespoons whole allspice berries
    6 cinnamon sticks
    1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

    Recipe






    Stick 2 or 3 cloves into each of the crabapples, and set aside.
    In a large pot, stir together the water, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a
    boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the crabapples,
    and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.


    Use a slotted spoon to lift out crabapples and place them into sterile
    jars. Cover with hot syrup, and seal in a hot water bath for 10
    minutes, or until the centers of the lids are depressed. If the syrup
    seems too thick, add more water. Refrigerate after opening. Use red food coloring in the syrup to get a beautiful red apple for garnishing.
