Our local paper was wondering if anyone had any spiced apple recipes,
stories, favorite varieties. She was raised in Il where her grandparents
canned Whitney Crab every year and they ate them at Thanksgiving. I told her
I thought Whitney was fine for that but I thought that there was a different
crab that was the mainstay for that purpose. Doe anyone know the traditional
candied or spiced apple variety? (I think its "spiced" not candied, is there
a difference?)
My grandmother also used too always have these preserved applecrabs that
were clove flavored. She was German and so was the grandma the above
mentioned journalist. Do you think it is a German tradition?
Any info welcome, I will relay the info with your name for print unless you
say you'd prefer not.
