Oh I love when this happens… My good friend Teresa Cooper found some wonderful damsons hiding in her freezer and kindly offered them to me. How could I resist?
I had an instant Summer feel in the gingergirl kitchen as the smell of hot damsons filled the air. As I type, the damsons juice is slowly filtering through muslin cloth…
As Seamus Heaney wrote…
‘drive them back to the wine dark taste of home, the smell of damsons simmering in a pot, jam ladled thick and steaming down the sunlight…’
see all gingergirl loves
