Our July weather has been so very wet and very windy..The heavy rains and strong winds have blown nearly all the apples off the tree....Some apples have little bite marks, probably made by little mice and also hedgehogs, who have been keeping warm and dry underneath the garden shed. I've been collecting up the windfalls in between the heavy showers to make some Classic Apple Chutney. Made with peeled diced apples, a couple of red onions, raisons, soft brown sugar, cider vinegar, ginger, mustard seeds, salt. boiled for 40 minutes, spooned into sterilised jars. Keep for at least two months before eating. Garden shed the hedgehog takes refuge under from the rain...images from June, a much summery month than July. Xx
