It's that time of year again, and we have an abundance of produce!
We always plant a few potatoes, these are Roosters, and it's impossible to beat freshly dug, boiled potatoes with a dab of butter.
Mange Tout are in full swing and cook really well steamed over the aforementioned potatoes.
Blackcurrants are also on the go and Helen has been busy making jelly as well as lots of summer puddings!
Helen also makes homemade Ribena using a Darina Allen recipe which is absolutely delicious and freezes really well.
Our earliest plums have just come ripe and Helen has made a wonderful jam this year which is really good on toast for breakfast and is also goes well with Moonshine Dairies organic natural yogurt.
The clover and blackberry seems to have yielded really well for our bees. This is some brace comb that I cut off one of the supers, packed with honey and our first taste of this years harvest. Eating it is a bit primative and is a case of biting off chunks, savouring the honey and spitting out the wax. Once the initial frenzy has worn off, it's really good spread on buttery toast!
