Fresh from the mirabelle incident earlier on this week, we sniffed out another wild plum tree while we were out and about. The fruit on this one was smaller, and ranged in colour from yellow to amber to purple. The tree was also a lot smaller, so no ladders or grabber was necessary, which made the fruit picking that little bit easier! The tree was laden and the fruit was so ready to eat that it was dropping off the tree and straight into the carrier bag that I handily had with me..... (Girl Guide motto: Be prepared).........!
I picked about 2.5kg, and (of course!) made most of it into jam. The colour of this one is a much darker gold, compared to the mirabelle jam, but it is just as tasty! I have 7 jars of hedgerow plum jam for sale, all priced as usual at £2.95........
