Your festive fruit and veg????

[Nicos]

Just wondering what produce you kept back or preserved especially for this festive season?

so far we've used our...

red carrots
Charlotte potatoes
kale
onions
shallots
parsnip
peas
beans
beetroot
squash
leeks
raspberries
apples
pears
eggs


Own chicken...
And....our daughter's beef

feels really good

and so...what have you used /got in store?

[Chestnut]

Last of our apples will go with mincemeat in a pie-when I get round to making it
Frozen garlic was added to stuffing, blackberry sauce was served with ice cream, and various chutneys go with cheeseboard or with poppadums alongside turkey curry

I go to my brother's for Christmas dinner as he has a family to cook for, so I don't eat any home grown produce on Christmas day. However, so far over the holiday period I have eaten:

Lettuce - Salad Bowl, Dixter, Warpath
Pea shoots - Onward
Tomatoes - Shirley, Sungold
Pepper - Snackbite Orange
Alfalfa sprouts
Basil
Parsnip - Hollow Crown
Potatoes - Desiree
Carrots - Nantes Frubund
Leek - Oarsman

I'll probably have more potatoes, carrots and some kale (Redbor) this evening, and some more salads and tomatoes for lunch.

Also...

blackberry jelly
sage and rosemary and Thyme
Horseradish!
