Directions

1

Select sound Siberian or Transcendent crabs with the stems on. Boil three pounds sugar and one and one-half pints of cider vinegar to a rich syrup; add two ounces of stick cinnamon. Drop a few of the crab apples into the syrup, turn and cook until tender, remove and place in jars, continue until the apples are all used, boil the syrup down and pour over the fruit. If the crab apples are very ripe it is better to steam them until tender; place in jars and pour the syrup over them.
