This year I have made a lot of boozy drinks with my fruit from the garden. In previous years I have tended to leave the fruit in for rather a long time so I have been using it inside roast chickens & ducks etc where it flavours the birds & produces a wonderful gravy. This year I am going to strain the fruit out rather earlier & try this idea to make delicious chocolate treats.

I have just been re-reading my old copies of Jane Grigsons "Good Things" & "Fruit Book", both are full of lovely delicious recipes for fruit & nut liqueurs (& a lot more of course). She suggests using the left over fruit (after straining) to add to our mincemeat recipes for Christmas. Now why did I never think of that........ I thought you might be interested. I have in the past added plum & damson debris to my Christmas pudding recipe.
I think I will start a new topic on cookbooks that have played important parts in our lives.....for whatever reasons.
