Crabapple chutney turns tart fruit into a balanced fruit chutney with vinegar, sugar, and spice. It works well as a pork condiment, chicken condiment, or cheese board chutney, and it is a practical form of homemade chutney for fall preserves.
Crabapple jelly without added pectin relies on the fruit’s own natural pectin, which helps a small batch set cleanly while preserving crabapples’ sharp, floral flavor. This no pectin jelly is a practical choice for home preserving in fall, especially when the fruit is slightly underripe and cooked to the proper gel point.
