One of my crab apples has huge dark red fruits (they look like bing cherries) and I'm experimenting with this recipe:
Spiced Crabapple Liqueur
4 quarts crabapples cut in half
4 cups sugar
26 oz vodka
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 Allspice Berry
1 Clove
Fill 4 quart container ¾ full with crabapples. Pour sugar and spices over top. Add vodka . Add remaining crabapples. Put lid on.
Let stand on counter or in cupboard. Turn jar upside down then right side up once a day for one week. Let stand one month. Strain through a sieve. Discard apples. Strain liqueur through four layers of cheesecloth.
Makes approx 6 cups.
