Ingredients:  
5 lbs partially ripe crab apples
5 cups water
8 cups sugar
1 bunch mint sprigs
Directions:
Directions:
Remove blossom ends and stems. Cut into thin slices leaving peels and cores intact. Place fruit into a deep saucepan, add water, cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Use a hand masher to crush fruit completely and make a juicy sauce. Allow mix to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat, strain through a jelly bag and gently squeeze pulp but do not force any pulp into the juice. Save the pulp if desired to make other recipes. Recover the juice and place into a saucepan. Add sugar and stir constantly over moderate heat till sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Add 1 bunch of bruised fresh mint sprigs by tying them into a bundle and passing the bundle through the hot crab apple sauce till you obtain the desired mint flavor. Then remove the mint and finish the recipe. Bring to a boil for 1 full minute then pour into hot, sterile jars and seal.
