We have been so lucky this year fruit and veg wise! It has been our first proper year to start growing but we have had plenty of tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, peppers, lettuce, courgettes, herbs, apricots, figs. pomegranates, lemons and of course Plums!

We have 3 plum trees which have all been kind again to us this summer. So... what to do with lots of sweet and sour plums?

There is something so comforting and satisfying about picking and using the fruit straight off the tree and I have enjoyed batch making jar after jar of Plum BBQ Sauce and also a Spiced Plum Chutney which we have enjoyed both at home as well as given as gifts to friends and neighbours.

The recipes are here on the food page for you to enjoy as well.
