The University of Nottingham has a Go Greener week this week (visit their site
here), so I thought I would have a look through my photos to see what I had of stuff I've grown or made over the past year. Here is a selection. We have yet to try the wine, which needs a year to mature properly, but the jams and jellies have been a hit! I made sloe, damson and wild plum gins in time for Christmas (all subtly different), and its nearly all gone now, so I'm hoping for a good crop again this year. The sloe gin is definitely my favourite, all creamy and vanilla tasting, yum!
