Le Tasting Room

This year has been a bumper one for fruit and we have had more than 30 kilos of green figs from our tree in the garden.

I have made chutney and jam and roasted them in the oven with thyme and honey. Our neighbours who have a Potager and sell their fruit at the local market in Angers sold around 15 kilos for us and we took other fruit and vegetables that they produce in exchange.  It feels great to use your own produce - I now have to address the apples (delightfully acid, close to a Bramley which makes for great crumbles and pies).
