More crab apple jelly

Here's the crab apple jelly that I made this morning.  It is almost clear enough to see through. 

Our first project this morning was picking apples.  My hubby's brother came over and he and I got into the bucket on the loader.  Then hubby lifted us up into the apple tree so we could pick apples.  We picked for about an hour, and only got about half of them.  I knew it was more than I could work up today, so we quit.  I can only stand still working in one spot for so long, then I've got to do something else. 

I made this jelly from apples I had fixed yesterday, then fixed enough apples for at least one for batch, maybe two.  I'm just putting the juice in jars in the frig for now.   Hubby says he will look for more jars in the morning.  I still have a whole pan full of apples to cook down, but they are just going to have to wait. 

I did manage to get a couple to loads of laundry done, otherwise it was apples all day.  I need to pick beans, etc., but that is going to have to wait as well.  Right now, I'm going to check out the links for this week's Photo Quest, then I'm going to put a cover letter and resume together for another job that I found in the paper tonight.  I may even sneak outside and take some photos later.
