Went out for the first ferreting trip of the season yesterday (15th September 2012) My daughter was trying out her new ferret; a small jill with light polecat markings. To cut a long story short we found that the rabbit were still in cover and the buries were unused or so covered in brash that they could not be netted. It was one of those places where there was any amount of sign, but it just did not feel quite right. Later I found out that horrible disease myxi was ravaging the area.
However we turned our hand to foraging and gathered up slows, for slow gin and blackberry's and apples for hedgerow jelly. Below are the results.
Five and a half pounds of Hedgerow Jelly. Great on toast.
The recipe I followed can be found at:

I had to simmer the jelly for a lot longer than the recipe said though.
