The last few days have been a frenzy of jam making. The Victoria plums were all ripe and ready to be picked, the blackberries in the lane are still ripening so there are still lots around, and the crab apple tree is so heavy with fruit that I'm wondering if the branches will hold!
So the house has been a enveloped in the warm cosy aroma of fruit cooking and jam and jelly making.
I also tried making some blackberry chutney as suggested by C-C-C, I only made a small amount just to try it out....
.... and taste with homemade bread and cheddar cheese. Mmmm, pretty good - will wait for it to mellow a little.
Happy days :-)
At the moment we have made:
20 jars of victoria plum jam
12 jars of crab apple jelly
6 jars of blackberry jelly
Thats a total of 38 jars!!
Still with lots of crab apples to come from the tree!
