Chardonnay Crab Apples Recipe
Directions
  • Use unblemished whole apples. Wash and remove any blossom bits but you may wish to leave stems on to serve as 'handles'.
  • In a non-reactive saucepan, bring wine, sugar, lemon zest and salt to a boil.
  • Add apples, cover and simmer until apples are just tender, 5 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the appples.
  • Let apples cool in cooking liquid. Serve with liquid, or drained, depending on use.
