The Fortress (our very much loved tent) housed us for a short time in Welsummer, Kent.
Whilst walking around, some extremely large fallen apples found themselves in our bags, along with a bumper crop of blackberries.
With little hesitation hedgerow jelly was made;
2kg of 50:50 blackberries: cooking apples
1.2l water
- Boil the lot until the apples are soft
- Let all mixture sit in muslin until the next day so that you're left with a purely clean juicy liquid
- For every 600ml of liquid add 450ml sugar
- Boil away for about 10mins until a droplet of mixture solidifies into jelly on a plate.
- Jar them up in sterilised jars
- Serve to your boy with some toast and lashings of goats butter
- ...or Gobble with game
