Crabby Crab Apple Chilli Chutney

Crab Apple Chilli Chutney

The trees are laden with tart Crab Apples this year. Truly wild Crab Apples always have a more intense flavour than any other apple. They can be too tart for some to eat raw but the appleness really intensifies when cooked. They will certainly leave you wanting more.
They are perfect for small hands to pick as there are no brambles or nasties to get in the way.
