Apples & Plums - 4 Recipes

So you have a glut of home grown fruit, you've added them to crumbles, pies and passed them out to any willing neighbour or stranger who'll take them! But alas the boughs are still weighed down with ripe fruit and you need some inspiration! 

Where here are four recipes that might help use up those last few kilos. 

Lorraine Pascale's Apple, Blackberry and Cinnamon Chutney

A home-made jar of chutney is the perfect autumn fare, the trees are brimming with ripe sun kissed apples and the hedgerows are overgrown with ripe blackberries.
 

The children and I went blackberry picking, after walking through the fields and along the hedgerows we gathered the juiciest and fattest blackberries. 

 

I supplemented our stash with a couple of home-grown blackberries and hay presto we had enough for a batch of chutney.
