The Knobbly Plate

A veggie, foodie, photography site

FORAGED

September 6, 2017 by knobbyplate

So it’s that season again..time to collect natures harvest and forage for everything from sloes to damsons to apple and blackberries of course. I do so love this time of year, it’s a chance to replenish my larder with jams, chutneys, preserves and of course start this years alcohol off. My favourite being sloe gin which when made now is perfect for giving out as Christmas presents  and enjoying as a tipple for myself.

Crab apples make a wonderful apple chutney as well as a great cider both of which I will blog about when I make them over the coming weeks. Blackberries which grow in abundance around here make everything from jams to wine and again I will blog about them when I make my wine. You will be surprised at the intense flavour they impart and it’s well worth the wait of a year or so for the wine to mature.

About Me

I grew up in Scotland where I learned to forage as a child with my parents for berries on the local moors. I have had a love of all things vegetarian for many many years and this blog will reflect my daily affordable healthy daily diet. As well as being a keen cook I am also a passionate photographer so all the images on this site have been photographed by me. I also intend to use this blog to recommend my favorite cook books to you.
