I have a glut of damsons and would be very grateful for suggestions of how to use them.

So far have done damson gin, puree for freezer and jam.

Trying to give them away too and the tree's still laden!

TIA

Damson vinegar. No idea how to make it but a firm called 'stratta' sell it at farmers' markets. It went beautifully with game and other meats. Last time I asked for it they said that they had trouble finding the damsons and that it was a limited edition vinegar. Is this a good year for damsons?

Thanks both for the ideas.

Planning to save the gin steeped fruit for boozy crumble in the autumn, will be gorgeous with some mascarpone.

Found a recipe for damson vinegar so will give that a go.

If you weren't so far away RockStock you could have bags full Grin

Sorry, had to dash away for a few days. DM in hospital. Sussex.

Sorry to hear that your DM is in hospital, hope things are OK.

Unfortunately damsons are in Manchester but if you're passing this way do stop by for a bag full Grin
