Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness etc etc

A windy spell over the weekend had brought down wild damsons at the campsite we were at. One taste of the cooked fruit last night was worse than eating a lemon (and I am one of those who eats the lemon slice in my drink - are you?)







So on to brilliant vegetable and fruit website  to find something to do with them!  Damson cheese - which I have never heard of before - seems to fulfil my requirements (simple, quick, cheap). 


I've cooked pear chutney from a recipe on the site before. It was my first ever attempt at such a thing and was a wild-fire success. At least it was for me, I ate my jar in no time with everything from chips to pizza (and a lot of healthy options in between!). The other jars, which I gave away could be gathering cobwebs in a corner somewhere.   Could it be that I am so proud of my first foray into creativity that I cannot see its blemishes?
