Crab-apple is a wild species of apple tree with beautiful small red fruit that tastes bitter-sour.
Incredible sweet-sour taste of crab-apples, elaborated with orange taste, and flavoured with cardamom; excellent to eat on toast or as an accompaniment with cheese.
Ingredients
Makes around ½ kilo jams
½ Kilo wild crab-apples washed and cores removed
1 ½ Cups sugar
1 Teaspoon cardamom powder
1 Tablespoon orange blossom flower or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Wash thoroughly cab-apples and remove cores with a core remover or by a small sharp tube.
In a medium size cooking pan combine cab-apples, sugar, and cardamom powder. Add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes until crab-apples are cooked and syrup thickens.
Add one tablespoon orange blossom stir well and turn off the heat
Notes
if cab-apples are over ripen, the fruits will be disintegrated and their beautiful shapes will be lost.
