Wild Gooseberries At The Edge Of The Hayfield
Ripening Gooseberries
Realization Of The Day:
Gooseberries are gorgeous. But I still haven't acquired a taste for them. (Or found a recipe that doesn't call for burying them in a pile of sugar.)
We are obviously in the midst of berry season on the farm. I have a few late strawberries in the garden, wild black rasberries, wild gooseberries, and mulberries in the hayfield. In a few short weeks hopefully the patches of wild blackberries scattered about the farm will be brimming with deep, dark fruit. And yesterday I picked up the five gallons (!) of organic blueberries I pre-ordered last January from a local small grower.
So what did I have for breakfast this morning? A slice of homemade apple pie of course.
Oh YES! Thank you for telling me what these are - I've just discovered some growing in the fields where I live (I'm new to PA), and I assumed that they were some type of grape. If I find any recipes not calling for a mountain of sugar, I'll drop you a line.
