Raspberries and Cream Tart
(From ABC radio Jams and Preserves segment last Saturday) For several days we've had a visiting cook from New Zealand staying with us. This coincided with my great need for local raspberries for the cooking classes here, so the situation provided the perfect opportunity to show off our idyllically beautiful Derwent Valley. A trip to … Continue reading Raspberries and Cream Tart

Working with those Wild Wet Hops
We’ve been experimenting with those wild green (wet) hops. The beer was ready for bottling within a very short space of time. A little taste of the liquid seems promising – a hint of hops but not too much. Of course there are the dregs from the base of the barrel (known as trub). We … Continue reading Working with those Wild Wet Hops
High Tea Class
The lovely people in the class this morning rustled up a little High Tea together. Good company, some small bite sized treats of the sweet and savoury kind, made for a most enjoyable morning for Robert (chief washer-upper) and I……
Hops of the Valley
Foraged fresh today from the banks of the Derwent River – wonderful organic hops! Robert has spent the morning most productively. There’s more than enough for making yeast for the bread during the months to come, as well as ample for brewing the beer. The aroma is astounding incidentally…..
Autumn Produce – Rhubarb Wine and Quince Cheese
We’ve been given some lovely quinces, the first of the season. Time to make quince cheese then! The now much-used recipe is in A Year on the Farm. I’ve given a table there for making the cheese in the microwave. It's less messy and far quicker than the stovetop method. Interestingly, same quinces, same microwave, same … Continue reading Autumn Produce – Rhubarb Wine and Quince Cheese
