So after filling both my freezer and belly with foraged plums and blackberries last week I thought I had had enough (I mean HOW many plums can one woman eat.....about 4lb is the answer!!!). But no, the weather forecast of rain and heavy winds meant I was concerned the foraging bounty may get damaged so off I went on a few more walks and topped up the blackberries in the freezer and SO many more plums.
I decided to make some chutney. I have foraged plums and apples and added a pear from our veg box and some rhubarb from the garden and made the rest of the recipe up.
I have been making jams, cordials and chutneys since I was a child so I was confident the flavours would go well.
What I wasn't prepared for was how little it made!!! One large jar and one small.
A bit of a disappointment as I tend to use large jars for us and smaller jars ready for Christmas presents, but with such a small amount there won't be enough to gift (or have I just found another excuse to go for another walk this week for more supplies-though the plums at Kyla level are thinning so I may have to walk with a ladder!!).
