One of the slight problems with growing your own fruit and veggies is what to do with nature's bounty?

There are only so many raspberries one can eat with ice-cream before turning into one, so this week has seen The Great Preserve Making Session.

I have made...

Five jars of raspberry jam (to add to the previous six)
Nine jars of beetroot chutney
Fourteen jars of gooseberry jam
and (even though I say so myself!!!) a pretty AWESOME Tarte Tatin with our first apples!

I'll tackle the blackberries when I get back from hols!

Sounds like a great haul! I wish raspberries grew in my climate. My fave jam.

I'm like that with squash and cucumbers right now - have WAY too many, lol.
