Carluccio's Crab apple and Horseradish Relish

Antonio Carluccio's recipe for this relish is really good so I'm including it and I just hope he doesn't mind....

4 lbs small crab apples
3 lbs 5oz sugar
18 fl oz water
7 oz freshly peeled and grated horseradish (or use a bottle of grated horseradish)

Method
1. Wash apples put sugar and water in a pan over low heat. let sugar melt till its transparent, then add apples.

 

2. Bring back to boil and simmer gently for about an hour over a very low heat                               

3. Let the apples stand for a couple of days at room temperature so they absorb more sugar        

4. Bring back to simmering point the add the grated horseradish       

5. Cook and stir for a further 30 mins.

6. Cool then bottle
