Or bread and butter and butter. The fruits are very beautiful all nestled together in your photo. Jam making is a lot of work and time consuming, you are right about that! I totally neglected the figs this year and let the birds, bees, wasps and ants have all of them except for a handful of fresh ones I ate one day right off the tree. Perhaps I'm growing lazy. You will enjoy the results of your labors into the winter months and remember your days out gathering fruit. That's lovely. Not to mention, very delicious too.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-10410466228131348942013-09-20T22:30:03.674+01:002013-09-20T22:30:03.674+01:00A wonderful harvest!

We have some that is very old, we're not great drinkers, but it is sweet, fruity and very warming...no, it is a bit too early.<br />We make chutney rather than jam, no setting point necessary, and like your hedgerow jam, the ingredient list is very flexible. Mr T does all the prep, it did take several hours. We leave is seeping in vinegar overnight and then boil it up for at least three hours, stirring every 15 minutes or so after we had a batch burn a few years ago. We eat it all year and it is a favourite with friends for Christmas.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410318976755292700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-85401071211880043882013-09-17T10:12:10.757+01:002013-09-17T10:12:10.757+01:00What a lovely post!

I made an 8 fruit hedgerow jelly (strained overnight through a 'jelly' bag), and added the juice of half a lemon to give it a bit of a kick!<br />The 8 fruits are - rosehips, hawthornhips, sloes, damsons,elderberries, blackberries,rownanberries and crab apples. <br />I have enough fruit leftover to make various cordials, some will be frozen in ice cube trays, to pop into hot water making a lovely drink when it's cold or you can suck the ginger and elderberry ones if you have a sore throat. when the cubes are frozen, I put them in a freezable container, using the teabag tongs, you can then take out one at a time. <br /><br />Enjoy your preserving!<br /><br />Sandie xxxSandies' Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022362234675324965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-68862195249910254542013-09-16T21:50:43.429+01:002013-09-16T21:50:43.429+01:00All looks fantastic.
