Preserving our produce

The fruit and vegetable garden surrounding Glanville gives us different produce for the ladies at every stage of the year, and this year our plum tree was very prolific.

So we had to think of extra ways of using the plums, and we were delighted when our new carer Lucilia gave us her special recipe for preserving them. They can now be used for deserts with ice cream or cakes or to eat for breakfast . In addition we have been able to save the juices from cooking them and made our own plum juice .

The residents have asked when can they eat them as they are so very excited.
