Crab Apple Jelly for Everyone

Well, every one of my sisters... Back when the weather was cooler, I promised to make apple jelly for all three of them. Well, the day has arrived. Actually, three days. Day #1 pick the apples (sister in law's mother's tree). Day #2 chop the apples, boil them down and drain the juice overnight. Day #3 add sugar and boil to the gel stage - which took forever. Then into jars. Then onto a piece of toasted and buttered baguette...

 

The real reward will be my sister Maureen's apple jelly jam jams. Yummm. Well, I deserve them!
