Honeyed Crab Apples Recipe
Ingredients
| 1 pound crab apples | ||
| Sugar | 2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Water | 3/4 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Light corn syrup | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Dash of cinnamon | ||
| Red food coloring | ||
Directions
1. Wash and stem crab apples. Place each on a small stick.
2 Combine sugar, water, corn syrup and cinnamon in the top of a double boiler and heat, stirring, until dissolved. Then add enough food coloring to turn the mixture a deep red.
3. Continue to heat mixture gently, stirring until it thickens and forms a ball when dropped from the tip of the spoon into cold water.
4. Remove double boiler from heat. Dip crab apples one at a time into syrup, twirling the sticks to coat evenly. Then let cool and harden either on waxed paper, or on a platter generously coated with peanut oil.
