Are ornamental apples the same as crab apples?

If so what can I do with them?
The are no bigger than 2 cm’s a piece

Very nice shot

According to google the difference between the two is the size. Crab apples have fruit that are abut 2 inches in diameter and ornamentals are tiny.

We don't have them so I cannot help! They look fabulous and Jackie's recipe sounds great!

The look lovely on the outside. There must be some way to get something out of them.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @pyrrhula Thank you both for the information, I should be able to use my crab apples for a jelly or a butter, as they are not poisonous. I keep you posted…. Maybe I include the chili flakes too.
