One has thorns and one does not. They appear to set fruit in alternate years. I miss munching on crab apples, as we did as children (under the dire warnings of "poisoning" from our parents), so I look forward to enjoying these bitter fruits once again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315464835734972931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-16901747932816227312013-10-08T07:41:17.369-07:002013-10-08T07:41:17.369-07:00Thanks for posting the crabapple butter recipe.

They're wonderful! But last night I found another abandoned tree at the edge of a mall parking lot and the fruit were large and plentiful so I want to go back to pick a bagful tonight -- and now I have a new recipe to use! While I love the spiced crabapples, and they go wonderfully with cheese, there are really only so many you can eat. Having another use, like crabapple butter, will bring them to my table for another occasion. And what a nice holiday gift they'd be! I love to find abandonded fruit and nut trees in my community and use the fruit to make something special. Thanks for sharing!

I've only ever heard good things and am very curious. <BR/>I love what you did with the crabapples. Apples are one of my favorite fruits and I eat one every day. When I was a kid, there were some trees that neighbours had that grew very small apples that we called crabapples, but I don't know if they actually were. We were always told not to eat them so I assumed they weren't good for you. You've set me straight. Now I must source some out because that sorbet has my name all over it!Carrie™https://www.blogger.com/profile/03326682699231189746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-80014149717545781492008-09-02T17:10:00.000-07:002008-09-02T17:10:00.000-07:00I've never ever seen a crabapple and imagine I nev...I've never ever seen a crabapple and imagine I never will.

That meatloaf looks gooo-oood. I've been feeling deprived lately--kale has yet another good month to go here in Texas, and I can't find Field Roast anywhere, and Whole Foods promises I can buy Field Roast by the case and then forgets to order it for me. Poooooor me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your hard work, Bryanna.
