This has been a strange year for summer fruit. The rhubarb season was late and has run into the strawberry & raspberry season which, with the recent spell of hot weather, is now galloping along. Our kind neighbour brought round the last of his rhubarb and some redcurrants.

And then Andrew spotted that the farm shop was doing an offer 'too good to refuse' and came home with 10lbs of raspberries.

So a few more jars of rhubarb jam were made and a lot of raspberry (about 15 I think! I lost count), fresh raspberry Bakewell tart - which got eaten before I remembered to take a photograph, and Andrew's famous summer pudding.

And then it was the end of the day at the strawberry seller...and more jam for the cupboard. So now I really do have to stop making jam as the three shelves reserved for preserves are full and I've spread to the next cupboard. Hope my next guests like jam!
