No 34 - Cook 50 recipes I have never cooked before

Last weekend I harvested majority of crab apples from our bush. Used them to make Crab Apple Jelly for first time. Only got about 1100ml of Jelly but it looks good, albeit much darker than expected. Possibly as i used brown sugar instead of white ( all I had to hand).

No 31 - To make own Chutney using home grown produce

Scrumped some blackberries in the field we back on to and added to some blackberries from our own garden to make some spiced blackberry chutney. The left over blackberries went with some free Bramley's from in the village to make a scrummy Crumble.
