You don't get like these from the supermarket, these are Alston Moor Gooseberries.
I put locally grown fruit in every batch of jam I make, when I run out that's it until next year.
I've got a dwindling stash of these in my 4 freezers πŸ₯Ά, but not long now until I'm out picking them again with Ed the farmer.
preserves made by me with no nonsense.

What can I say but 'wow'
Cobbles Cafe thank you for the delicious food for my day course today.
They supplied all this and two 'posh' drinks each, and it's all included in my day cane course.
Have a look on my website if you fancy learning how to .
It's a really nice day ( no previous knowledge necessary), meeting other like-minded people and learning a heritage craft + of course nice food!!
Win;win!
