Our garden is having a productive season this year, though the 'cool' summer has meant a late sort of tomato crop. I hope I get enough tomatoes to make some sauce and bottle it.
We have a big old nectarine tree in your back yard. It bears a lot of fruit but was badly affected by fruit fly last year so we didn't get to eat much off it :-(
This year however it has a good crop and there are not many fruit flies around so I decided to do some bottling of the fruit. I bought bottling jars and did the whole thing 'properly' and was mightily pleased with myself until it came to trying the preserved fruit. It tasted like crap unfortunately. Very bland and a mushy texture. I suggested to Danz that we cut down the tree and replace with a peach! He wasn't impressed.
