The fruits of Autumn

[Ruby Slippers]

DH went out to play last Friday and came back laden with Nature's bounty in the shape of damsons and blackberries! The blackberries found their way into a blackberry and apple crumble on Saturday and yesterday (Monday) the damsons became damson jelly! It is absolutely delicious! I have just sampled it on toast - well, you can't leave it to chance, can you? It might have been terrible! That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!

Great idea RS, I see lots of Damsons growing wild, but someone usually beats me to them, probably your DH

Ooooooo RS that blackberry & apple crumble sounds yummy

I really do love a crumble of any sort

I'm unthawing the last of the blackberries today. They never last long enough for me to make them into a pie or anything but they're dee-licious with ice cream

And since I've cruised the freezer I see that I'm getting down on strawberries (frozen) however the blueberry supply is in good stead. I actually freeze as many blueberries as I can get my hands on. A favourite snack is to eat them just one the cusp of unthawing. They have to be frozen but just slightly thawed. Am a semi-frozen blueberry afficianado
