This year we have eaten more vegetables than ever and they were all free! We have had courgettes in every form possible, baked, steamed and made into cake. I have written about lots of the food I have made and will be writing about the recipes for other things too. Check them out here.
But the deep shiny black star of the show is the fantastic crop of blackberries!
I have so far made over 25 jars of jam,
blackberry and coconut cake,
blackberry pie and today made blackberry chutney.
I have also made blackberry vodka
and blackberry Bacardi
I made a visit today and although I thought the blackberries were slowing down they have had a new spurt - there are thousands of them still to pick! And still they keep on growing!
When we get to the end of the month the bushes will be cut right back to encourage growth for next year but it will also give us a chance to encourage the blackberries to grow in a more civilized way next year. Wish me luck!
