Fester
has picked our first ripe outdoor tomato!
Tylebach Any green ones?
Bentonbag Not many - certainly not enough to make chutney - Fester
says he likes them fried and he's welcome to them.
To be fair the tomatoes on
the windowsill are well over 6ft (pushing the top of the bay) and we're picking
half a dozen cherry tomatoes off them every few days since August.
But it's
been a funny year.

The other
day Fester picked 7lb of green tomatoes and we are now making chutney.
Thing is, rather than doing 2 batches we're
doing it in one big batch which is just silly.
Because 7lb of tomatoes requires the same
weight of apples, also onions, also dried fruit, also sugar, half a gallon of
vinegar and large amounts of spices.
It's
a big jam pan but I've spent most of this afternoon stirring it to get enough
liquid boiled off to get all the fruit in.
My feet ache.
Ferretfingers
just came into the kitchen and said "Stink".
Remind me never to go along with one of his daft time saving plans again.
