Coffee now<p>Damson jam</p><p>Our damson tree had an unusually large crop of fruit this year, so I decided to make a batch of jam. The recipe below details what appears to have worked well. It was adapted from a plum jam recipe found in a the book Jams &amp; Chutneys, although the original recipe was for about half the quantity and gave the preparation time as a implausible 20 mins…</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/damsons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>damsons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/jam" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>jam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/recipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>recipe</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/preserving" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>preserving</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/homemade" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>homemade</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/PersonalBlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PersonalBlog</span></a></p><p><a href="https://coffeenow.moomop.uk/post/2024/09/damson-jam/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">coffeenow.moomop.uk/post/2024/</span><span class="invisible">09/damson-jam/</span></a></p>
John Leach<p>Finally made some Damson gin with the last of the frozen Damsons we picked in September.
