does anyone here make their own preserves? I found and picked over a thousand plums at the w/e

creakyknees [Edit] [Delete] 17:15, 22 August '11

my son only managed 100, but I also picked thousands of haws, 100+ apples of various types, 13 pears (Left most of them), 10 sloes.

All for free :)

I've cored loads of crab apples (from which Mrs knees is making crab apple jelly)

Mrs Knees has 2/3 of the plums, 1/3 of which has been boiled to jam.

I gave 1/3 of plums to NanaKnees (to divide the jam making)

Next weekend will get another thousand plums, and will aim for 500 apples and 10000 haws.

Its a bumper year :), get out there looking for free/wild fruit trees people. Blackberrys next
