Masses of damsons! They must be having a good year in Wales.<br /><br />I`m currently using garden pears and apples as much as I can and I`m making hedgerow jam with elderberries and brambles. <br /><br />I have just found your blog ( via Weaver of Grass) and I`m enjoying reading your old posts.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Dartford WarblerDartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512151224022821706.post-75280830927085918122011-08-24T17:23:25.072-07:002011-08-24T17:23:25.072-07:00Love all plums.

One of the tastiest is the Damson of course but, a close second is one called 'Mirabell', a cherry sized plum, looks a bit like an apricot and tastes a little bit like one, devine taste!<br />Made a few plum,apple ans sultana crumbles tonight, ate the 2 v.small 'sample' sized ones!<br />There was a lot of juice left, even though I didn't add any water, so this went in a jar in the fridge to use over pancakes or ice cream.<br /><br />Happy jamming!<br /><br />Sandie xxSandies' Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022362234675324965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512151224022821706.post-86873775367758403462011-08-24T14:21:36.509-07:002011-08-24T14:21:36.509-07:00Nothing is better than getting lovely fruit for ju...Nothing is better than getting lovely fruit for just a bit of time and labor !! Years ago my Dad & I would go out to the far end of the road we lived on and gather Chinese plums, pears, walnuts, and Italian plums. They were on an long abandoned farm and we had to hack down brambles and fight yellow-jackets. But totally worth it !<br />Those jars of ruby/garnet colored jam... Oh it was good !!<br />And so satisfying to know what we had 'gleaned' would have otherwise been left to rot...<br />Nothing like the sweet taste of Summer on a cold dark morning !!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450252740228915993noreply@blogger.com
