Fruitfullness is upon us again and I’m feeling so guilty about the plums. It’s been a wonderful year for fruit - the weather’s been just right. The blossom set well in spring and then we had a wet, but fruit ‘plumpening’ August and consequently I’m squelching in them here. They are native hedgerow plums called Bullace, a name that seems to cover a multitude of size and colour - we have yellow/green ones, plum coloured and a dark little damson type. I normally make chutney and jam, but we’ve still got masses left from 2 years ago. So I shall be dousing some in sugar and vodka - strangely no one turns their nose up at this once it’s been bottled....
