My Back Garden Apple Crop

This year for the first time in two years my little apple tree at the bottom of the garden has managed to produce nearly a kilo of fruit.  Small, but perfectly formed they will soon be transformed into jars of crab apple jelly.

Making homemade preserves is always very satisfying but even more so when you’ve grown the produce yourself. Especially if like me the only thing that tends to fair well in your garden are weeds.
