It's a meal enhancer, (or transformer as Mark puts it) which you would use just like ground black pepper<br /><br />Joanna - will most definitley do so. I've been looking at cultivars and have been struck by how many say fruits can be used to make jelly. My only concern at the moment as that the cultivation guidance says <i>prune after flowering</i> which I'm sure would severely reduce fruiting potential<br /><br />PG - I think I must have got them from the place you saw. Just as well 'cos they and the reedmace were very heavy!<br /><br />FG - it's called Apricot. I'll look out for the seeds.

A chaenomeles hedge, on the other hand, sounds fab - if the jelly is tasty...

The peppers and peaches sound delightful. I will look for that mild one with the fruity taste, wonder if it is available here across the pond. I envy the metal!<br /><br />xxxooo<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-80719093580446397092010-09-28T12:22:17.734+01:002010-09-28T12:22:17.734+01:00Glad you got your supports in the end.

I've often wondered whether an ornamental quince would make tasty jelly, but have never tried it out, since making crab apple jelly with my mother-in-law's beautiful but utterly tasteless tree. It didn't matter WHAT you flavoured the jelly with, it just wasn't worth eating. Will you keep us posted about how it goes, both in the hedge and in the kitchen?<br /><br />Thanks<br />JoannaJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790888857849562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-25666012613938619142010-09-27T23:17:45.227+01:002010-09-27T23:17:45.227+01:00And what was the Szechuan Pepper used in?
