a credit crunch crumbleplums from grandad g's garden...£0
elderberries from our garden...£0
other bits from the cupboard + recipe found here
i've never used elderberries before + wasn't sure if they could be used. i found another website that suggested elderberry schnapps which might make for some good christmas gifts. don't they look like black pearls? so pretty.
making jam with the rest of the plums is on my list of jobs for the week ahead.
(purple part two tomorrow)
mhhh, looks delicious! a love plum jam. a treasured childhood memory! we had an old plum tree in the garden and in late summer we were no longer allowed barefoot in the garden because of all the bees and wasps enjoying the ripe plums on the ground. my mom always left a couple for the bees. my dad would harvest elderberries for his annual apple cider. it give the cider a nice colour. enjoy your jam and ave a good week, erika
