[Sca-cooks] Fruit picking was Re: Almond Milk revisited

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

Those little golden plums? Make a jam with candied ginger and a
MarketSpice (or good earth or other cinnamony tea) teabag. It pretty
much rocks the free world, it does :-)
 
(*and it makes an awesome quick sauce for pork)
 
me, I think this is going to be the year of the blackberry.
 
--Anne-Marie, who makes a different kind of jam every year.

Hey Selene, Huette, Aeduin and anyone else in from Caid on this list, we
should plan a cherry picking trip  sometime :)
  
Actually, I can offer a plum picking trip to my parents' house in
Sherman Oaks, probably in a month or so.  Dark red and golden plums,
neither much bigger than a cherry each.  This year's yield looks
promising, the little green plums are plentiful. These trees were
allowed to get Awfully Tall and it will take a lot of ladders and
ingenuity to get at the upper branches but Dad's willing to let my
friends try.  

I want a big bucket of the red ones to do more plum wine, the last batch
[which I hoard fervently] came out better than the best plum wine you
ever had at a Japanese restaurant.  My mother calls them "Italian plums"
but I wonder if they are not actually Japanese, particularly the golden
ones.

The main cherry picking country in Caid is Beaumont, yesno?  That's
Dreibergen, so we need to ask our friends in that direction what the
season looks like so far.
