The plums are now ready and it is a bumper crop, we estimate that there is around 140 lbs, far too much for us to bottle or make jam and chutney with , so a lot will be given to friends to do whatever with, so far I have bottled 16 bottles, experimented with plum and ginger jam which is delicious. I do have a few more kilner jars, but it also looks as though we have a large peach harvest, so have to keep jars back for them. I will be making chutney, with ginger and figs,although have not tried this combination before, it should work out fine.
