About three quarters of the rhubarb is now harvested. Joshua and I have made two rhubarb and ginger crumbles and three rhubarb and ginger cakes. The remnants of number three are on the right.
On the left is a tray for flash freezing so allowing myself and my son and heir to make more rhubarb ands ginger cake to go with the Bara Brith for tea at Sharestock on September 6.
Two tubs of rhubarb and ginger ice cream are now in my freezer for the after cold salmon pudding on the evening of ShareStock. A tub of elderflower ice cream is soon to join them and tonight a second lot of elderflower ice cream goes into production. The elderflower champagne is fizzing in a bucket and us ready for bottling tonight. And a giant large saucepan of rhubarb and ginger has been absorbing its sugar and orange juice overnight and will, tonight, become jam for the Sharestock breakfast.
Next up? The dessert gooseberries and blackcurrants are ripe as are the first raspberries and a poor crop of strawberries. This weekend Joshua and I will make a summer pudding, summer pudding ice cream, blackcurrant jam and also thread my winter garlic which is now dry. It is all go
