Hedgerow Harvest ... Tastes of Autumn

Hello Ladies.

Lots of pictures today, so I'll keep my waffling brief...

Recent Hedgerow Harvests
(two trips down the lane)


Blackberries (destine for Bramble jelly)
and
Rosehips (soon to be Rosehip Jelly)


Blackberries for "Bramble and Apple Jamming"


Beautiful beginnings, Bramble Jelly.


Smooth and Glossy, Bramble Jelly.


"Chuck it all in", Rosehip Jelly


Plenty of jars, in "jewel like" colours.

... What does one do with 14 jars of jam?!?!


Homemade Bakewell.


Dainty Jam Tarts.


And Gingerbread.

Gingerbread?!?!? I hear you cry!

Yes, Gingerbread was on the cards, but alas no Golden syrup!
That's when that cupboard FULL of Rosehip Jelly comes in handy!

Worked well. Tasted yummy.

And last but not least ...
Did you notice my teaspoons?


Charity shop of course.

Blooming cute.

Thanks for being here.

Lots of Love

Katie

  1. Lovely pictures Katie ... I've got chilli jam on the go as I'm writing this! You can never have too much jam, will see you through the cold winter months. That gingerbread sounds lovely! xxx

  9. You have been busy! Thanks for the idea about the rosehip jelly..I will have to try that one time (we have a lot of wild rosehips down the hill from us, just crying out to be picked). Very interesting about using it in gingerbread as well.
    I agree those teaspoons are blooming cute indeed :)
    I hope you are having a lovely weekend x
