apple jelly

i made some jelly with those apples from yesterday.












it came out kinda reddish orange (as shown on left). the orange-yellow one (on right) is from another batch of yellow crab apples in my front yard, which i made last week.

these translucent jellies are pretty in the sunlight.
but more impt'ly, they taste great with peanut butter (as PB&J) on cottage bread.

cherry apples

these are apples from my backyard.
at 1.5 inches in diameter, they look like cherries.
giant cherries, of course.
they were pretty, with a little hue of hot pink in the sunlight.
i was afraid they would be just a bunch of mealy apples, though.
but they proved to be crunchy, a little tart, and sweet.
they are delicious.
definitely another surprise in my garden.
