Right now you're all sods and I'm insanely jealous... When my allotment kicks into overdrive next year I'll be making plenty too though.

This year has been a slow year on the making front. I've been so caught up with work I missed most of the foraging (made up for it in sloes though!).

I just managed to scrape together enough Elderberries to make a wine - ask me in a year or two how that worked out.
My girlfriend and I made a cracking (very deep) pie with some blackberries we managed to get before the local kids stole loads for their parents (the sods) and I missed the later ripening.
My main successes will all be liquid. That wine (if it works) along with the sloe wine I start in 6 days, the sloe gins and whiskeys (2 of each) I'll start around the same time and that's about it.

I'm planning some fun with the local rosehip crop but I dunno what yet.

Hi H
hope you are well...we will meet up at some stage on the downs, or somewhere...

I dont refrigerate, just hang in the larder. It rarely lasts so long that I have to worry about refrigeration. I also cold smoked this one as an experiment. Very tasty result..
