This is what they looked like before they went into the jam (and some into the rumtopf!). They came from a tree which is maybe seven years old and this is the first time I can recall having any fruit from it. But this is a recurring theme in our garden, the peach trees deliver a massive crop one year and then nothing for three, the walnuts do the same. And we are also only here about one week in four so it’s all too easy to miss fruit at the right time for picking / eating / jamming.
