1. Fruit bondage
1. Fruit bondage (Image 1 of 8)
It's firework time at River Cottage and Hugh's preparing for a Bonfire Night shindig. But before any marshmallows can be toasted there's some hard graft needed, as the team bottle down for winter with some pickles, chutneys and preserves.
This winter Hugh's up for more than just apples and pears so he ropes in 'Pam the Jam' to help him source some lesser known chutney fodder. Medlar was a popular autumn fruit from the Middle Ages through to Victorian times but its unfortunate appearance means it more commonly known as 'dog's arse'. Delicious - dog's arse jam anybody?
Undeterred, Hugh and Pam crack on with a delicious medlar jelly and a spicy medlar and apple chutney. And there's further excitement for Hugh as Pam gets out the fruit leather (that's fruit that's been dried down to about 80 per cent). "If you've got fruit leather you could have fruit bondage," giggles a giddy Hugh. "You could make a fruit whip." Hmm... Pam the Jam seems less sure.
