"Snoopy": Crumbs! I forgot, I will ask my mam in a bit as soon as she is awake. She likes a little respite from all us kids on the Sat lol! I,ll give her a tinkle!
"Snoopy": Ok I did it and I just knew I was gonna have trouble trying to grasp what it was called on the phone lol but I got it eventually. There are different types, the two she got in her catalogue are Beris Thunbergii and Atropurpurea both prickly. She got hers from the garden center.
skipinnz: im going outside to see if there are any flowers on the plants....they have only been in the ground about 4-5 months so are young plants, but I have already had about a kilo of fruit from 4 small plants....I have propogated another dozen plants so hopefully will have plenty of this delicious fruit shortly>
skipinnz: as I said they are only young plants, but they are fruiting well :)
To make the jam you have to take all the "red" leaves off the outside and save the seeds...you wrap the seeds in muslin, boil cup for cup sugar/fruit with the juice of a lemon, and the seeds...boil for 45 minutes. The seed help with the pectin as the setting agent...it really is a nice jam.
Lisa D: Crikey what a week we have had here. A big storm and winds of 210mph in Blackpool. 80 to 90mph where I live. 16 people killed with things falling on them. Floods. My mam has roof damage and a fench blown down and smashed. They have given snow for us for tomorrow.
