Haha harvest

It's that time again. Drew has offered to host this chutney club and open his pickled eggs. I want to suggest the 2nd of May, but am open to your suggestion.

I felt like making it a challenge.

Harvest. Make something with something you picked yourself. Easy for some, but I have a concrete backyard, and therefore have to skulk about alleyways looking for ripe fruit. Luckily it's autumn, there is fruit everywhere, so see what you can do. If you need help there is a map of fruit trees within reach of public property here.

Figs and feijoas, quince, apples and pomegranites are all over these suburbs. Make something of it.



I picked a some delicious apples up the farm, though not sure what to make of them, too good to cook with. Crunch Crunch Crunch.
