When I was a kid we had crabapple trees along the side of the property; every year my Mom would make Crabapple Jelly. The whole house would smell wonderful, and we would look in awe at the huge cheesecloth bags set up to drip all day long. This brought back those memories! Wonderful post, Chefmeow! (BTW, the new owners of the house had the trees completely removed. What a shame...)
