And while I’m on a damson mission – Delia’s damson chutney

We picked a good couple of kilos of damsons at the Funtingdon PYO yesterday. Everything else was finished – all the fruit has been so early this year, The blackberries are almost over here and some years there are still masses in mid September. I’ve been hunting around for damson recipes and Delia’s one for chutney sounds tasty:

Also intrigued by her recipe for damson or Vicky plum ketchup:
