One of my customers has a crab apple tree but not the normal little ones these are about twice the size of normal crabs. They taste sweeter but not much flavour to them. He just composts the lot!!!!!! Don't think they'd taste too nice as a jelly. Any suggestions on what I could make them in to?
I made plum jam from a load of customers plums today, made passata from a couple of kilos of tomatoes from my greenhouse, cooked a load of apples and put them in the freezer oh and made a carrot cake as well - productive day
I ate a load of my customers plums today lol. Never even got one home scoffed the lot in the 15 minutes it took me to get back The perks of the job eh.
This year I have made: pesto with basil/parsley and I have frozen parsley and basil in sandwich bags- it crumbles into sauces etc straight from the freezer. I've also made jams/cheeses (blackberry and gooseberry cheese has been good this year).
We've had a glut of corgettes and tomatoes this year so have had roasted,fried and chargrilled corgettes (with chilli, mint and basil garnish ...mmmm), corgette cake, 'coleslaw' made with grated corgette, carrot and apple mixed with plain yoghurt and a bit of parsley.
Tomatoes...roasted, microwaved and on toast, but mostly just raw with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and some basil.
I have a Victoria plum, pear tree, quince, apple, gooseberry, Rhubarb & Toms, etc & make crumbles, jams, chutneys, preserved pears etc (mix up pear and plum for jam or crumble) freeze or give away the rest. Just eaten home made Tomato soup for lunch today. Tomato pizza tonight for tea! had a couple of stuffed marrows with tomato and mince stuffing lined up for Sunday lunch. Love roast or thinly sliced raw courgettes with a salad and grated Khol Rabi (loads this year, easy to grow)

Thanks for that, Stacey. It sounds delicious. Going to give it a try tomorrow.

Didn't think of chutney...thanks Paula.
OMG when do you all get the time for doing all these wonderful things with your produce !!!!!
Damsons nearly ready. Damson cheese is the best! Can never make enough jars to last until the following year gets eaten too quickly.
