Hello there, and welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.
Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed, and if you see older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here we’re pleased you’ve joined us.
This week I have finally tackled some of the crab apples we have growing on our small crab apple tree. The tree has been overloaded with fruit this year, I’m not sure if that’s because it’s making up for a poor showing last year, or because it’s a mast year.
Either way, there’s a lot of little crab apples.
I picked 2kg to make some chilli jelly and the tree hardly looks as if it’s been touched. I’m hoping to do a second picking over the weekend and make a second batch of some kind of crab apple based preserve, I’m not sure yet if I’ll make more of the same, or follow a apple and thyme jelly recipe, or maybe even an apple, plum and chilli jelly recipe - though that could be plum dependant!
We’ll see, in the meantime have a great week.
