If you don't want to watch her in all her pompous glory trying to make an idiot of poor Gwen Troake, run it forward to 5:11

Thanks for that link! I love blackberries all the more for their part in the downfall of that dreadful Fanny Craddock! I remember her shows- she had her husband Johnny scuttling round after her like a scullery maid.
What memories, and how different from today's TV chefs. (Michel Roux for example)

Mixed with greek yoghourt and eaten fresh.

Mixed into a salad. Or into couscous salad.

Made into a cordial.

Mixed with lots of other fruits to make a summer pudding.

Stirred into muffin mix.

GC made a lovely smoothie with the ones they picked from our garden
