“Here’s to thee, old damson tree,
Whilst we may, we wassail thee;
But if not, we’ll bury thee deep,
And a green turf cover thee”.

#TodayInMyKitchen Reaping the rewards of some freezer spelunking last night.
Found some already-prepared damson puree from last year, & whipped up a batch of my damson ice-cream in just 10 minutes.
So happy breakfast ice-cream is a thing. 😋

With apples & damsons harvested from our garden this year, I'll be making chutney next week, & then leave it to mature for 2 years 😋 This batch was made last year, but why is there always a little bit that won't fit into any of the jars? 😁 #homegrown #apples #damsons #homemade #organic #chutney
Jars of freshly made Damson jam sit on a tray cooking next to a bowl of recently picked Damson fruit.
First few test jars of my Damson jam recipe with thyme, orange zest, lemon juice and sugar. #damsons
#Autumn. #Fruit. The #Tudors exceled at #baking with #apples, #pears , #damsons and #plums! Try it yourself! Make a Tudor fruit #pie, #tart or #jam!
An old-fashioned enamel pot sits on the hob, filled with damsons beginning to break down, their skins slipping and juices deepening to a rich, inky purple. Steam rises gently as they soften, promising the start of a proper seasonal jam.
It’s a jam week. Damsons from Diana’s allotment this time. Deep purple, sharp and stubborn to pit. But worth every stained fingertip once they hit the pot and start to soften. #KitchenGarden 🥫👩🍳
Blue blush, marbled bloom, urging me to reach for indigo half pan instead of preserving pan.

If August offers you unripe #plums or #damsons, make #Tudor (recipe) tarts: plums, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and rosewater. Perfectly balanced! #EatingWithTheTudors
A tub of freshly picked Damsons.
Just been in the garden squeezing my Damsons...
Though we lost a lot in the recent dry spell, it now looks like we're in for a good crop this year. Filled a couple of takeaway containers with those with "give" & good colour. Now to chuck them in the pan...😋

Come on you beauties. 😊 Time to start growing & swelling, ready for your destiny snuggling under a crisp crumble topping... 😋
Did someone mention custard...?

The #damsons are flowering in my garden at the moment, simple and beautiful. #orchards # natureNotes #UK
Good morning 🌞💚
Today I'm working in the southern most part of the Lake District National Park and I'm surrounded by magnificent damson blossom
Here's hoping for a better fruit crop than last year, for making damson chutney and damson gin 😊

Getting ready for a local Tudor food talk tonight. You can't deliver a convincing case without the evidence at hand - can you? #seasonalproduce #damsons #plums #eatingwiththetudors @penandswordbooks.bsky.social

Damson gin and some jam upcoming

Stories suggest it was those bastard immigrants the #Romans who brought them to the UK
Gervase Markham's 1623 recipe for "a pruen tart" (actually a batch of tartlets), using "the fairest damaske pruens you can get" - a.k.a. #damsons - sounds absolutely delicious to me.
