Here in west Wales it truly feels like winter has arrived: dark nights, dark days and cold damp walks with the dogs.
I am very thankful, therefore, for the fact that my autumn raspberries continue to supply a small taste of summer every few days. There aren’t many of them, and the flavour may not be as intense as it was a couple of months ago, but I find it a great joy to go out into the garden and harvest a small taste of sunshine to add to my breakfast… and they are all the more welcome for being fresh.
Summer in November

/ November 9, 2012Yes, the autumn raspberries have been AMAZING (along with blueberries) and have filled up the spaces usually taken up by stewed apple in the freezer. I have also made raspberry vodka…………

/ November 9, 2012Yes, the apples were remarkably disappointing this year. The raspberry vodka should make up for the lack of sloes to add to the gin!
