This easy Crab Apple Jelly Glazed Chicken is a perfect summer or fall dish. My mom has been supplying me with crab apple jelly for as long as I can remember.Â
If you can’t get your hands on someone’s homemade crab apple jelly you can buy apple jelly at the grocery store. If you’ve never seen it just go to the jam section, it’s hiding in there somewhere.
Every fall my mom used to make crab apple jelly with the apples from her tree. Picking apples is fun for kids since it often involves climbing a tree. I remember the first time my son was asked to pick crab apples.
He was only ten years old and was thrilled to be allowed to climb up onto the garage roof. As soon as he saw the street below he asked, “Can I throw apples at those people down there?” Of course the answer was no but I’ll never know if all the apples he picked went into his bucket.
My son is not as enthusiastic about picking apples as he once was but he still loves crab apple jelly. He says this easy recipe is on his list of favourites to make when he moves out.
I have a year round supply of crab apple jelly yet I only make this recipe during grilling season. To step up the presentation for company I simply thread the meat onto metal skewers which always look gourmet. I also make sure to marinate the meat over night for maximum flavour and garnish the platter with fresh mint or edible flowers from my garden. There’s no mint in the recipe, I just like how it looks.
