BeckyBoo Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 ....because the plums are SO colourful and I've got a fair bit stashed away already (not including the vodka, brandy and gin as well as the elderflower champagne!) so I thought I'd take a piccy. Or two I LOVE this time of year! BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Rowan jelly on the hob at the mo, it's the first recipe I found, apparently it's good with meat (not that I eat meat anymore!) But still got loads left so will have a surf of t'internet later - I keep thinking they're poisonous, I was convinced for ages you couldn't eat them so am having to really overcome an urge to chuck them out! They're SO bright orange they look like they'd be poisonous! BeckyBoo Amend that - just found a recipe for rowan berry jam - mine will be a jelly as I didn't peel or core the apples, but it has BRANDY in it! And I have some apricot brandy left over from last year - wwll, it'd be rude not to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Funnily enough I've just heard from a friend on facebook that she is making rowan berry jam! I've never heard of them being used before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 The jelly is good with Nut Roast as well - Yum!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I've found this recipe for Rowan schnapps http://www.danish-schnapps-recipes.com/rowan.html and, handily there are lots of rowans near here as the council use them to make the suburbs pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I like the idea of turning it into a liqueur..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
