For me it is blackberries which are early this year although Heaney’s poem does start with “Late August”... I love to make an almond cake topped with caramelised apples and blackberries- a variation of a Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall recipe. Also it is damson time - probably my favourite fruit of all! Lovely post, thank you x
Oh yes, we’re a little behind here but I’ve seen the first ripening 🥰 Blackberries are my fave autumn fruit so there will be a whole newsletter dedicated to them! So glad you enjoyed the post, have a lovely weekend x
Lovely ideas! We’ve found some ripe blackberries and elderberries locally and I’ve made some elderberry syrup. I might mix the blackberries with some apple for a crumble.
Thank you very much! Elderberry syrup is an annual tradition for me too. We’re a little behind here but can’t wait to make it! That sounds delicious, enjoy your crumble ❤️
I hope you can get your hands on them! They have a very short season but are worth seeking out 💚

First time I’ve made it! The kiddies love it. The berries have just ripened here and we’re down in Newcastle so you’ll not be far behind 😊
Oh lovely! Can’t wait 💜
Curious about whether our plum tree is a greenage type.. it’s the best it’s ever been 🌳
Ooh exciting! You must report back 💚 I have noticed the orchard fruits seem extra abundant this year, enjoy them 🌿
