The jelly is quite easy to make. We have several Dolgo crabapple trees
and we just steep some fresh rosemary sprigs in hot crabapple juice
for about an hour then use the juice to make the jelly. It's great
with pretty well any meat.

We've got the time but, the energy is another thing. I'll be 75 in a
couple of months but, Gerry is a few years younger so she has more
energy ;-). She says the only way she knows she's getting old is by
looking in the mirror.
