Crabapple Canning Recipes

Crabapple canning recipes are one of the best ways to use these tiny, tart apples, especially when you want big flavor and bright color in the jar. Crabapples shine in classics like jelly, juice, and syrup because they’re naturally high in pectin, and they also make excellent butter, preserves, and spiced whole fruit. Crabapple preserving recipes are a great fit for water bath canning, since the fruits are naturally high in acid and pectin.
