Crab apple jam and jelly

I just love this time of the year!

I have this "need" to start preparing for the Winter...and nothing better then some homemade jam and jelly.

For the first time a had a go with crab apples and the result was yummy!

1) Wash and cut away stem and blossom ends
2) Bring the apples to the boil with just enough water to cover them for about 30 minutes
3) Drain the apples throw a muslin cloth or jelly bag WITHOUT squeezing the bag or the jelly will go cloudy.
4) Drain the apple flesh (the one that was left over inside of the muslin cloth/jelly bag) through a colander, just to remove pits and skin.
5)  Bring the apple "juice" to boil with sugar ratio of 10:7 (for 10 parts of juice, like 1000 gr add 7 parts of sugar, 700 gr) and juice of 1 lemon and in other pan the apple flesh with sugar ratio of 10:7, cinnamon sticks and juice of 1 orange
