I got 4 pots of jam and a bit of crumble out of the blackberries, not much for a couple of hours collecting with the kids but sure what harm

5 kilos of apples picked off the neighbors tree tonight. I’ve a little arrangement with them. I pick the apples off their tree and give them a few pots of apple jelly to get through the winter. In fairness I could have picked three or four times that but I got tired. It’s been some year for fruit. There’s lovely fruit on my own smaller apple tree but they are for eating.

The father in law grew tomatoes this year a load of them never ripened so he was going to throw them out. Do not says I, I’ll take them away and make a chutney.
The upshot;
The house stinks of vinegar
The kitchen is wrecked
I now possess an amount of chutney in excess of the entire amount of chutney I’ve ever eaten in my life.
I spent €12 on the additional ingredients required to make said chutney
I am turning into my grandfather
I am delighted with myself

I’ll have to head for the market tomorrow. “Artisan” chutney is surely worth a €5 a jar

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
You’d swear you were the first lad to make green tomato chutney on the forum.
We have a load of hairy footed hobbits on the forum that go out picking weeds and roots to eat. Fascinating to watch.
