Tip:
Wash crabapples. Remove stem and blossom ends. Do not peel or core. To prepare juice, combine crabapples with enough water to cover in a Dutch oven. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until crabapples are soft. Mash crabapples occasionally while cooking. Strain through a jelly bag.
If unable to produce 6 cups of crabapple juice, use 3/4 cups sugar for every 1 cup of juice.
