It’s been a bit of a fruitful day today - summer fruits time has started in earnest, and the food cupboard was bountiful. I got 8 punnets of starting to go mouldy strawberries, and once I removed the dodgy pieces I have about 3 punnets worth of useable fruit (mostly cut up and in the freezer for a future jam). I’ve also got lots of bruised peaches & nectarines, along with a few apricots and plums (also in the freezer, after the bruised sections removed and the good bits cut up).
I also harvested the final cherries from my tree - they are cooking cherries, so not as sweet as good eating cherries. I have already bottled a few jars for the cupboard this year, so I’ll freeze the rest for jam & to go in overnight oats and suchlike.
I managed to make enough jam from discarded fruit last year to supply myself all year, give a few jars as gifts, plus donate half a dozen jars and some coconut jam slice back to the food cupboard. Hopefully I can do the same again this year 🙂

This is awesome and sounds very delicious.
