In my first year harvesting the crabapple trees I have planted here at the Welsh Hovel I collected 750g, enough to make about three quarters of a jar of jelly. The Mrs and her family turned their nose up at my jelly, having to add flavour to cooked meat is not central to a curry based Indian cuisine. But then Joshua and my sister-in-law tried it and now it has an army of fans.

I showed you yesterday my growing harvest of crabapples HERE. Hey presto, after a few hours in the kitchen spread over two days, I have six jars of jelly. I might sound conceited here but the colour and texture are absolutely spot on. Next year 12 jars. And now onto the damsons.

My colleague Darren uploaded these photos and reckons what he saw was cherries. Poltroon! Sadly my nine cherry trees are yet to yield much, I have hopes for next year. What you see is from the two crabapple trees in the new orchard I planted in early 2020 and which Joshua and I harvested last week.
