........literally! Bottled up 4 jars of apple and 3 jars of apple and brambles today. I'll process them tomorrow when I have the stove turned up. Bottling is the best way for preserving - no energy isused in its storage and it's ready to use - don't have to remember to get it out the freezer in time......:) The apple and bramble is pretty to look at too..... All this cost was a few ounces of sugar for the syrup; we picked the brambles at the weekend, and the apples came from a friend. The syrup is water and sugar, left on the low end of the cooker to dissolve itself in its own time.

They look delicious...I bought my first kilner jar today...so maybe I'll have to do some bottling too.
That's what I've been doing too.
Our brambles got eaten in cakes and we haven't got a lot of good fruit this year.
I've got seven big jars of mixed summer veg though - sitting on the side of the table waiting for me to stop admiring them and put them away. :-)

Admiring them is half the fun, though! :)
