Some of the best things in the preserving pan are the ones that resist easy description and this is one of them.
Our own Comet crab apples, slow-simmered until their fierce tartness becomes something warmer and more complex, with a thread of ginger running through it like a quiet piece of mischief, not quite a marmalade, not quite a jam, not quite a jelly and definitely better for being none of them entirely.
Spread it thickly on toast, melt it onto a warm crumpet, and let it remind you that the best preserves were never meant to follow rules.
Ingredients: Apples. Ginger. Sugar. Lemon juice.
