It will be served with chunks of apple and cheddar bread (Paul Hollywood recipe) and more grated cheese.
For pud a simple raspberry sponge and custard.
Recently I made a dozen fresh blackberry muffins after foraging around the bushes in a big park, we came away with around 1lb.
A lady with a small yapping tawny pooch told us the way to go, to find the purple fruit. She was enthusiastic. We thanked her and scurried away through coarse green and yellowing grasses and up and down dodgy dried paths till we found the bushes heavy with ripe and unripe fruit.
We picked carefully to avoid piercing the skin of both us and the fat fruit and when we'd filled the small plastic bag we
danced out of the park/wood gripping the booty.
Other things of note:
When we went to the Purleigh Classic Car event I had a picnic basket packed with 6 cold chicken drumsticks, curried pasta salad, blackberry muffins, fresh bacon ready to be fried, unsalted butter and homemade bread. Tea and a bottle exotic fruit drink kept us hydrated. For goodness sake I'd pushed a couple of small red apples in between the cheese and onion crisps.
Jeannie and Mark and hopefully Viola and Trevor will be joining us for tea on Friday. I have the menu sorted. Two large Sausage, apple and chutney slices with boiled potatoes and some kind of green veg. Cabbage probably. For pud, I'll make a cherry pie and ice cream. The pie is a Mary Berry recipe. Very black cherry and sweet with a hint of almond. The ice cream will be shop bought.
I was told about Barleylands Farm shop in Billericay by Viola and Trevor. I went there. I'm going again. Two big cabbages for £1. Wouldn't you?
