Hi Kevkev,
At the mo we have a freezer full of cherry plums in various colours for jam, chutney and plum sauce. Going after rowan berries next. Already had cherries and raspberries. Coming up blackberries and eater, cooker and crab apples for jellies, jams, chutney and pies. Then sloes for gin. Damsons if I can find any for jam. Then hazel nuts and walnuts.
We walk the dogs everyday and make notes of where various trees and bushes are in the hedgerows. We try to go mid week after work to avoid weekend foragers and hopefully get the jump on others.
I also forage for foliage and berries, hips and haws and twigs for autumn wreaths and candle holders and also our Christmas wreaths and swags.
On hols pick mussels and when I used to scuba dive a lot always brought up scallops, flat fish, lobsters, crabs etc. Got my eye on Food from the Seashore next.
Not very inventive or exciting I'm afraid, just what we happen across when out and about. Get a few strange looks sometimes with our assortment of bags and receptacles.
hfw.
