I'm into the wild stuff this year. The blackberries are just starting so
there aren't enough yet, but wild plums abound. Corniolo is due now, sloes
as well, and elderberry is now or never. This year I've made elderberry
vinegar because it is stunningly beautiful. I think it's better than that
fake balsamico people use.
I made quite a lot of caramelized fig and lemon conserve but the next figs
are a month away.
I will make some new things from blackberry this year. I've a Britiah book
that has a much wider variety of things to do, some very spiced and
interesting.
