Speaking of Crabapple Jelly
I found a package of crabapple juice in my freezer, already measured for
half a batch of jelly, even! :-) Fortuitous, eh? I made half a batch, using half a package of pectin‹yeah, yeah, I know; crabapples have plenty of pectin on their own and I could have made it without adding pectin‹sosumi. I had my reasons. Anyway, this stuff was starting to set while it was in my pouring pitcher. Seriously. I mumbled (hah!!) about being able to get a couple "good" jars from the batch and was quite disheartened when I pulled them from the bwb and saw lots of tiny bubbles suspended in the jelly. Dang! Scratch that from my list of entries! Guess what! Probably 95% of those leetle bubbles moved up to the top and disappeared while the jars were cooling. Whee! What a happy ending to a dance that was off the beat. And it smells so good, too‹like apples. :-) -- Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ Holy Order of the Sacred Sisters of St. Pectina of Jella "Always in a jam, never in a stew; sometimes in a pickle."
