Re: Foraging For Fruit
I pick pounds of them ,mind you it is back-breaking work
,I have to end up sitting down amongst the bushes to pick them,land up black and blue and looking a right state......but its worth it for a pie and a few pots of the jam

They keep well for months........Chestnut Puree : Shell and peel the chestnuts then boil them in a thin stock for about forty five minutes .Strain off the liquid,rub the nuts through a sieve,or mash them in a liquidiser.The resulting puree can be seasoned and used has a substitute for potatoes ,or for the basis of stuffings.............
