harvest time

Time to show off the fruits of our labours and the bountiful produce of eleven pole!




We had a grand jam making session after brief forays out in between showers. These boxes of fruit are now five jars each of raspberry and goosecurrant and two each of blackcurrant and redcurrant. Sticky. The carrots became spicy soup and the next lot we pulled turned into this rather delicious cake which was ravenously devoured.



These are our spectacularly plump and nubile courgettes which Large couldnt keep his hands off, they were made into fritters then dished up with stuffed courgette and pumpkin flowers.




You make the fritters by adding garlic, about a handful of parmesan, a bit of flour, egg and seasoning to grated courgette. Just dont leave them too long before cooking or all the water comes out and makes a big gooey mess.

Hey Guys, Thanks loads for sharing some of your produce with us!

I had Courgette flowers for the 1st time which were fanastic! (I stuffed them with mozzerella and basil and deep fried them in a tempura batter).

Also the Broad Beans went into a lovely rissotto with bacon and parmesan.

All the best in your new home guys and hope the rest of your harvest is as good!
