Several years ago, a good friend gave me a bottle of her father's crab apple liqueur for Christmas. I loved it! When we moved into the new house, there were two trees that, in the spring flowered and smelled amazing... one was a May Day tree and the other, you guessed -- a crab apple tree. I spent all fall researching exactly what to do with the little crab apples. I had to do something! They were so beautiful!

For me, it's a great way to practice my homesteading skills, preserve the harvest, and try new things like this crabapple mostarda.
