There's so much fruit about at the moment it seems a crime to not use as much as possible. I wanted to can some more produce as I haven't done any in a while.
The damson trees are heavy with their fruit this year, and none heavier than the Merryweather. I know I've talked about this amazing fruit on the blog before, but it really is great, the fact that it's free-stone (the stone doesn't cling to the fruit) makes it incredible for all sorts of preserving.
I had three talks this week, so by Friday I was feeling a bit wiped out. I decided to do a bit of a kitchen day, with a nice tea planned for my family (I had a talk to go give), bake some sourdough and can some produce.
I still need to do more though as the 9 jars haven't made a dent, and they haven't filled up the pantry enough!
What's your favourite fruit to can (or bottle)?
