Un embarras des framboises

 I mentioned we had a lot of raspberries on our bushes this year. And I mean a lot. 

We have several kilos in the freezer, and no more room,  a big bowl in the fridge, we have made jam (lots) and ice cream (lots). yesterday I made a raspberry and apple crumble (it was delicious), the builders who have been working on our byre ate them almost constantly fresh from the cane last week, we gave them a big bag to take home with them  and there are still many many ripening. 

In normal times I would make a pavlova, a fool, a trifle - but between one person in the house who is trying to eat a very low fat diet and another who is supposed to keep off sugar none of those are a good idea. 

At least the birds will be happy because I think all we can do now is leave the fruit on the bushes for them  to eat.

  1. Gosh, it’s a lot of years since I ate raspberries off the cane! Dad grew red ones and white ones, very successfully ❤️

  2. I am almost tempted to plan a trip across to the Mainland to steal some!
