Amethyst Deciever

Sometimes it's just nice to share a moment! I love when we find the Amethyst Decievers on our mushroom foraging tours.

This mushroom always reminds of the true Amethyst crystal. Held up to the light on a sunny afternoon the powerful purple shines through.

A great beginners wild mushroom, the cap is like a jelly baby, to touch. The gills thick, widely spaced, and deep purple when fresh. The stem fibrous from an early age.

To find out more and learn how to safely identify this beautiful native mushroom, why not join me for one of our upcoming tours.

Is this the final forage of this year?
What a beautiful morning to forage blackberries, they came early this year with the drought. September and October has been kind to us. I was foraging this morning for a special cheesecake.

According to Irish and British folklore, you shouldn't pick blackberries after Michaelmas day on September 29th or the old Michaelmas on October 11th. We believed in Ireland that the mischievous shape-shifting fairies 🧚‍♀️ known as the púca took over the blackberry bushes after Michaelmas night, spoiling or soiling the remaining fruit.
Today I carefully chose fresh berries that weren't spoiled or mouldy. I will be washing and cooking this harvest. Washing the blackberries in salted water helps to clean them throughly and cooking them reaching a heat of 78c will get rid of any bacteria. You can't beat the taste of freshly picked blackberries, the shop bought have no comparison.

Always pick from a clean, pesticide and poison free space.

Crab apples

Crab apples are just ripe now, keep an out for these little jewels.

You can make delicious crab apple jelly, jam, chutneys, even crab apple brandy or crab apple and sloe gin.

I'll be using some of these for a Autumn cheesecake with blackberries and a granola base.

I absolutely love the bittersweet taste of crab apples and that lemon sherbet zest.

What a sunset. Dramatic sky this evening over Howth.

Autumn evenings

Baked lasagne using the last of our homegrown tomatoes, freshly picked salad leaves from the garden, cherry tomatoes and red onion. Beautiful crab apples, shaken from the tree, if they fall they are ready!

The crab apples will be used for jelly and an Autumn cheesecake. 🍂

As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, it's lovely to settle in a cook good meals with Autumns harvest 🥰

Keep an eye out for my crab apple creations.
