We have plenty of Broad Beans, Mangetout Peas, Globe Artichokes, Courgettes, Beetroot, Spinach, Tayberries, Strawberries, Blackcurrants, and Yellow Cherries.
It's time to start making my Tayberry Jam. I shall buy new lids for my jars, then I'm ready. I really enjoy the process, it's all so quick and easy, and only involves 3 ingredients; Tayberries, Sugar, and Lemon juice.
Just look at those beauties! 5 mins boiling time, and viola! I made just 2 jars from the above. I'll need to do more almost every day. These berries grow like crazy!

ReplyDeleteThe Beans and Peas are both very good, but I have very few of each. They will soon be replace by salads.
DeleteIn the heat wave, you will have a lot of work inside the house. Better so than outside.
ReplyDeleteI shall start a jam factory!
DeleteAre tayberries similar to raspberries? I've never seen them around here. I had some of the best blueberries I've tasted in years this past weekend when we visited the North Carolina mountains about 5 hours northwest of here. The soil and altitude must make a difference. They seemed much sweeter and more flavorful than the berries we get down here.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your garden output!
Tayberries are very BIG Raspberries, in fact I think they're a cross between Raspberries and Blackberries; but much bigger.
DeleteSo satisfying to enjoy your own produce.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when it first starts, at the beginning of a new season.
DeleteJam full of flavour! Well done. Do You eat it or just Lady M?
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly for the children, when they come in Summer. They can consume a couple of jars just for breakfast.
DeleteThat jam looks fabulous. My courgettes are just starting to flower. We are having downpour after downpour here. We had loganberries when I was a child do you know anything about them? Enjoy your jam.
ReplyDeleteI'm not 100% sure, but I think they're either the same thing, or very similar. Basically a very big Raspberry.
Deletelooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe jam hasn't set quite how I like it..... next time!
DeleteI shall be picking our first courgette today! Missing our raspberries and tayberries though.
ReplyDeleteAll our berries are going crazy. I'm not sure how well manage to eat them all.
DeleteHow calming it is to come over here to a world of jams and fruits and courgettes.
ReplyDeleteBucolic Corner!
DeleteRaspberry and apricot are my favourite jams although I try not to eat too much of it !!!!! I think that raspberries, Tayberries/loganberries are my favourite fruit along with peaches, strawberries, cherries, greengages, Victoria plums and a good apple 🤣. This seems to be the time of year when you really reap the fruit of your labours Cro XXXX
ReplyDeleteThey are the two that we make. I do the Raspberry, and Lady M does the Apricot. I made Peach jam once (we had a glut) it wasn't nice.
DeleteI know you are a happy man these days.
ReplyDeleteWe are eating our first tomatoes (Early Girls) and some peppers are almost ready.
I ate my first Cherry Tomato this morning; there was just one!
DeleteWe only have strawberried and beetroot ready here at the moment. Still a long wait for our peas, beans and courgettes :(
ReplyDeleteMy Strawberries didn't do well this year (they're now finished). I'm waiting to pull the Beetroot; I don't think they're big enough yet.
DeleteIt looks delicious, Cro. Must be fantastic on toast. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd on Scones, with a big dollop of thick cream. It has so much flavour.
DeleteOnly seems like yesterday you were getting Haddocks ready for the summer and now this bounty! Thanks to you Cro and a recent post, we now have a vine planted in our Wrenery.

I had a look at my recently planted 'Black Hamburg' grape (which was covered in grapes), and I'm not certain, but I think it has caught a disease, or tiny insects. I shall have to investigate further today.
