Lots of damsons* this year. |
Here but a few I picked yesterday |
and finally get six glasses of damson butter. |
* Before anyone asks: What are damsons?
Plums they are both. Actually the plum-family is quite big. For example, the mirabelle is also a member. :)
As for the difference:
The damson is the more juicy sister of the plum. :)Plums are almost round and bigger; and their flesh tends to be reddish;
damsons are oval, and their flesh is yellow.
Our damsons are done but I did get to cook quite a few (with snacking between). I prefer them to most other plums these days - except for the lovely and soft dark pluots which sometimes appear.
ReplyDeleteUii, thank you for that. I had to look up 'pluots' and can't remember I ever saw or tasted one.
DeleteAre you 'growing' your own damsons, Susan? Or do you buy them on your market?
Yummy!
ReplyDeleteYep!
DeleteWow!! you have been busy.
ReplyDeleteNot really.
DeleteI was just picking. Mrs. J. did the "rest". :)
I love that image of the damsons on the stairs.
ReplyDeleteKind of a still life, hm?
