Hi all,
My youngest son kindly decided to pick almost half my apple crop 2 months early and I am hoping someone would know a recipe to make something from them so I don't have to throw them all away.
so... has anyone got a good apple recipe for unripe apples?
The search engine is your friend, in the words of Ms. Ragmop.
Try this:
My gramma always swore that unripe apples were the very best kind for making things like mint jelly, and other such things that won't jel on their own. Herb jellies are a wonderful thing to have in the pantry. My mom's side always prefered green apples for pies and general baking as well. I don't know as they used them quite as green as yours must be though!

thanks! I did that but wanted to know if anyone here had a tried and true recipe :-)
I did discover that July picked unripe apples make perfect apple pectin - used to make sure *any* jam sets *and* that the pulp from making the pectin makes a great apple sauce :-D
yes that sounds plausible when I compare it with the recipe I found for apple pectin - it makes a setting "jelly" to mix with fruits for making jams and leaves a lovely pulp for pies, apple sauce etc.
sounds like jam making is on the menu for today :-)
