Mellow Yellow…not quite 25 May 2012 | 01:04 am
We can’t keep this on the stall very long at the Farmer’s Markets so I thought I’d share the recipe. I can’t take all the credit; I got the idea from Nigella & you can make it as hot or as mild as yo...

Elderflowers from the hedgerow Quick! While you still can! This has got to be the easiest & most delicious jam you can make at this time of year! Small un-ripened gooseberries are great for this ja...
Perry’s Plotment 30 May 2011 | 01:24 am
