In Season Fresh Fruit

August’s fresh fruits

Blackberries and plums are heavy with intense juice, just waiting for summer puddings, dressings, salads – or even a refreshing jug of sangria

Late summer berries

A defining feature of British hedgerows in late summer, inky blackberries are a joy to eat and cook. Those with an even, dark colour will have the sweetest flavour. They work particularly well in baking recipes, so pair a punnet with apples or almonds, and bake in crumbles and cakes

Cooking with plums

Native varieties in season include Opal, Jubileum, Reeves and Victoria, and there's all kinds of recipes to try with them. Pan-fry in a little butter to toss through a savoury summer salad, stew down to a luscious sticky syrup for a creamy fool, or bake into a light sponge pudding
