Was given a bushel basket of crab apples. Made them into jelly, it was a greenish yellow color, not an appetizing color, made me think of the old Alaska saying, 'Don't eat yellow snow". I sent one of my teens to the store to get me some red hots. Heated the jelly up, added the red hots and stirred until dissolved. final result, a faint cinnamon flavor and the jelly was a beautiful peachy pink color. Some of the best jelly I ever made.
