Well you have to think ahead in this game. I have been pressing crab apples to make verjuice, which will be a key ingredient in my Mulled Verjuice Chutney. Ideal to serve with cold turkey on Boxing Day.

Hi Val. I’ve got some dark plums in the freezer so I may well give it a try. It’s nice to offer preserves with a festive flavour at Christmas. Thanks for sending it. I look forward to seeing your marmalade recipe. Best wishes Bruce
