I have 4 crabapple ( Prarie Fire ) trees that are loaded with fruits about a 1/3 the size of a cherry. Does anyone have any ideas as to what my wife can make with them ? Recipes ? Or a waste of time ?
I'm growing crab apples expressly for jelly, since their jelly is more colorful than that from most regular apples. However, I'm growing Dolgo, which is fairly large fruited. I looked up Prairie Fire, and agree with @flowerbug; it's chief value is as an ornamental. Which doesn't necessarily mean it can't be made into something, just that you might want to experiment with small batches before going all-out. If you decide to try, please update us with your results.
