  1. 1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place the ramekins in a deep oven-safe pan or dish. Set aside.
  2. 2 In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla bean and scrapings, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, orange zest and ginger over medium heat. Cook until it comes to a simmer. Turn off heat and let it steep for 10 minutes.
  3. 3 While the heavy cream is steeping, place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan with tall sides. Before turning on the heat, gently mix until the sugar turns the consistency of wet sand. Then cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the sugar starts to melt and turns deep amber. Turn off the heat and slowly whisk in the warm heavy cream mixture.
  4. 4 In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and salt. Slowly stir in the warm caramel mixture. Strain this custard through a fine sieve and discard spices.
  5. 5 Pour the custard into the ramekins and fill the baking pan with boiling water to halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Be careful not to let the water enter inside the ramekin. Cover the baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil and place inside the oven.
  6. 6 Bake for 60-75 minutes until the center of the custard is set but still jiggles slightly. Remove from oven and let the ramekins sit in the pan until cool enough to handle. Dry the bottoms of the ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Serve with whipped cream and chopped pistachios.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Inspect four 1/2-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jelly is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  2. 2 Remove stems and blossom ends from crab apples. Cut fruit into quarters and place into a large stainless steel pot. Add cinnamon stick, then pour in just enough water so you can see it through the fruit, but not so much that the fruit is floating. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until fruit is soft and has changed color, 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Discard cinnamon stick. Strain fruit through 2 or 3 layers of cheesecloth; you should have at least 4 cups juice. Discard pulp, then pour juice back into the pot.
  4. 4 Bring juice to a simmer, then cook for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that comes to the surface. Stir in sugar until completely dissolved. Continue cooking at a low boil until juice reaches a temperature of 220 to 222 degrees F (104 to 106 degrees C), 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  5. 5 Pack jelly into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
