I'm a big fan of modern apples, especially the SweeTango, but have you ever tried homemade #CrabappleJelly?
You don't need modern genetic analysis and decades-long orchard testing to make the finest of all fruit jellies.
Just find a crabapple tree with super-red apples & get to work.

Success! It's jelling! Proof that you don't need extra pectin to make apple or #CrabappleJelly with Erythritol/ Monkfruit.

After I had decided to raw-juice my crabapples, my 20 year old juicer nixed that by blowing its top after about 1/4 of the apples. RIP juicer. Cooking and straining it is.

Half-done step-one "make the juice" (wash, trim, slice, cook, blend, strain) from one bushel (40 pounds) of crabapples.
When all the crabapples are transformed into juice, then step-two, "make jelly from the juice", can start. That's another day's work.

Step 1 is to make (cook) juice from the crabapples.

That is 3 batches of juice, slowly gravity draining through layers of cheesecloth.
3 batches is 2.2 kg apples x 3. It's approx half of the 3/4 bushel of crabapples.

Look at that colour.
Magnificent.

The "make juice (cooked) from the crabapples" step is now complete.
One day of fun. I have pots and strainers to do two sets of 4 batches.
Don't have a final number of litres of juice produced from one bushel (40 pounds/8 batches of juice, but this is the estimate.

Cooking interlude: for the task of trimming of 100s of apples for #CrabAppleJelly (you have to remove stem & blossom from each apple) you only need to use the tip of the (sharp!) knife, so use duct tape to protect yourself from the sharp blade.
it took me years to figure this out.
Also tape thumb!

It's magic how transforming a few fruits can create such divine things.
