The bullace tasted sweet enough to eat as is, so some were eaten in their primary state.
The jam I made in September included the following from our garden: Blackberries, Blackcurrants, Bullace and Victoria Plums, (sliced and checked for grubs!). All of these fruits contain vitamin C amongst other minerals.
All previously washed and frozen then half used in September and the rest will be used just before Christmas.
As the bullace looked like large sloes, some are now fermenting in London Gin!
You can see a sketch of the sloes and bullace side by side on pages 156-157 of Edith Holden's 1905 Nature Notes.
The scones shown in the photo are homemade, not by me though.
The background frame is based on an e-processed pink brolly fabric.
