I don't think I've ever tried a crab apple. After reading, I guess they are bitter :)

:) they are bitter, Angela, but I believe they can be cooked and made into jams and jellies. Regards // paul

Thank you, Jenny. The first time I saw crab apples was in England; my curiosity got the best of me, and I soon realized what they tasted like! ~ Warm regards & Hugs // paul
