When The Garden Produces... So Do You...

One thing I love about growing your own food is that you can be a bit spontaneous, especially when you spot something that you hadn't remembered about or something you weren't expecting!

I headed out into the garden last night, as earlier that morning, when I had put the girls out, I spotted that the Blackberry bush appeared to have suddenly burst into life with some rather yummy looking berries. My little mind began thinking of a plan and when I saw a few pears on the ground I knew what I had to do!

When the garden gives you windfall pears and juicy blackberries....


You gotta make pie....



And then you gotta eat it!!!!

  5. Those blackberries look yummy. I don't think I've ever had that combo together in a pie, was it as good as it looked?

  8. It was indeed very tasty! As we have both a pear tree and a bramble bush in the garden this is a common pie for me to make. Try adding about 1/2 cup brown or golden caster sugar to the pot when you are cooking your pears, gives them a kind of caramalised taste!!

    In fact I went a bit crazy this time with the golden caster sugar, some on the top of the fruit, some in the pastry too!
