I am "showing off" with my pictures , some may be a bit old but the blossoms are the same every year, in fact I think there were more blossoms this year. especially on the quince tree..
apple not doing much this year neither is the elderberry, but then you can't win 'm all every time.
Yes I do poach a lot of the fruit and put it in the freezer, that will carry us through part of the winter, infact tonight we are having blackberries. last night we had apricots. Red Bartlets yes are very juicy and sweet, freeze well, and they make a lovely pie, with a little home made lemon curd mixed in.
after I poach the apricots 'several batches ' in the same light syrup. I then make that into apricot
jelly. great on bread, in cakes, or as a glaze on an open fruit tart.. I had better close or I could go on all evening,,,, qahtan
