Plum Cake
We were given lots of plums by a friend. Below is some pics of one of the many recipes we followed in order to use them all up.

Pickled Onions & Beetroot
We decided to try our hand at pickling a few different types of onions. Like our garlic they looked like a few of them were starting to get a little mouldy so we pulled them up early to save what we could and binned the rest.
Here are the results
We made 3 different onion variations: Chilli Shallots, Balsamic Onions, Traditional pickled (red) onions. The picture also shows some pickled beetroot we used a basic pickling recipe for this too.
My favourite is definitely the balsamic onions. The others are ok but maybe a little acidic. Next time I think we will add a little sugar

Broccoli and Cucumbers
Our latest pickings include Broccoli and Cucumbers…
We are struggling to get our broccoli to have large heads though. There must be some trick to it! But it tastes great all the same

At the weekend I got busy baking a loaf of courgette and mushroom bread. It was very tasty! I recommend it to anyone with a glut of courgettes. I only needed to add half of the amount of recommended water and needed quite a bit more flour whilst kneading. So you might wish to bear that in mind.
