Hi Shari! Mayhaws actually look like a tiny crabapple – about the size of a large cranberry. They have a similar flavor to crabapples but there are other fruit overtones in them. They’re really unique.

It’s amazing the things I’ve learned just from this site! I had never heard of Mayhaw jelly, or Mayhaw anything before. I noticed you mentioned using apple jelly as a substitute, so i’m guessing that they’re an “apple-like” fruit? Or how would you describe them?

Mayhaw jelly is a rare and unique thing! The mayhaws are only available for about three weeks in early May so you have to get them while you can. They make the most wonderful jelly you ever tasted. Fabulous on a hot buttermilk biscuit that’s been split and had a generous pat of butter and Mayhaw jelly added. Yum!

Oh, my goodness! I had bought a jar of Mayhaw jelly from my neighbor’s farm (Savannah, GA) and have been waiting to make something with it! Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks for sending me down memory lane with Mayhew Jelly. My grandmother would take trips to Colquitt and bring back jars of the jelly. So good!
