ive been busying myself and cutting my hands to shreds collecting blackberries. made some jam last year but last night i made some jelly - its excellent! going to collect some haws and some elderberries tonight and brew up some more concoctions! |
I collected lots of blackberries for jam last year and will do the same this year too (in a couple of weeks).
Its a good time to collect wild garlic (a lot tastier than the bulbs you buy in the shops) chop it up and mix with good olive oil and freeze in ice trays and they last over the winter.
Rabbits are plenty up here, I had a couple last week and cooked them in the slow cooker with black pudding carrots and onions and cider stock they were very tasty.
There some mushrooms to be had this time of year, I've just bought my self a mushroom guide book and hope to get out next week.
