It's so tangy and pretty too.<BR/><BR/>Joanne, the finished product is complete! And yet, I have promised a friend that I will can more apple sauce with her yet!<BR/><BR/>Donetta, these are just the best crab apples ever. They're always bright red, when we have them, but this year was abundant. I'm sure the rains helped.<BR/><BR/>JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-46274448298785500802007-08-30T10:17:00.000-06:002007-08-30T10:17:00.000-06:00You have a wonderful harvest there. how delightful...You have a wonderful harvest there. how delightful the color of the crab apples. I bet that jelly is amazing! Maybe the drought brought something out in the tree or better said soil . perhaps the tap root hit some good nutrient as it searched deeper.Donettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530145585581721795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-59150679508593497612007-08-29T18:02:00.000-06:002007-08-29T18:02:00.000-06:00WOW!

We're just now beginning to "tackle" the boxes and buckets.<BR/><BR/>Isabella, These are *the* prettiest crab apples ever! So far, I've made a few jars of jelly and the color of the apples is reflected in the jelly beautifully. I hope you have good success in your apple picking too. Thank goodness for our kiddos!<BR/><BR/>JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-87317934788435716692007-08-29T01:23:00.000-06:002007-08-29T01:23:00.000-06:00Oh wow!

I love the colour of those crab apples, the ones near me are a kind of ruddy green (like a pippin). I still hope to get my own haul this year...rigging the children out with climbing equipment as we speak.Isabella in the 21st Centuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477890093845193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-41388808321458803372007-08-28T19:30:00.000-06:002007-08-28T19:30:00.000-06:00These are such beautiful photos Jody.
