I’ve been away from the blog-world for a while now, but I’ve just been scrolling through your posts on your new (well, probably not so new now!) site!!

This curd looks divine. I’ve only ever tried making lemon, lime and ginger curd before, but this looks wonderful. Up here in the fells, the blackberries have been lingering on so I may well see if I can find a few and have ago myself.

P.S. I love the new site!

Hi everyone – I tried the curd on a English muffin yesterday and it was lovely. My husband scored it 10/10 and he doesn’t often allow more than 7/10. I’m going to post a picture of it in my English muffin post if you want to drool.

Mango: its definitely feeling Autumnal now – it was quite warm still when I collected this batch but the last two weeks its started getting much cooler especially in the mornings. I might go blackberrying again today – hope you found enough to make curd.

Fran: did you try the recipe – how did it go?

Danny: thanks for the compliments on the look Still no autumnal leaves yet here but autumnal temperatures for sure. Did you go blackberrying?

Jan: The colour is amazing isn’t it. Tastes pretty good too – not as sharp as I’d expected i might add some lemon juice if i try it again to give it a shade more tang.

Nicisme: Thanks

Like the new look Linda, very swish. I was going to comment on the previous post re: BPR Summit but got a nose bleed thinking about it.

We’re going to go blackberry picking soon, might even have a crack at making some ‘curd’ although I haven’t tried before. And I echo Mangocheek’s sentiments about Summer turning into Autumn, I told you it was here didn’t I! ; )

What a lovely idea. We’ve got loads of ripe brambles in Tottenham – I collected 1.5k on Saturday. I’ll do another forage later in the week, and follow your recipe.

For me Blackberries mean that summer is over and Autumn is here. Autumn is my favourite season.

I love the blackberry curd recipe. I made some strawberry curd a little while ago, and before I could enjoy it, it went all mouldy. I was So so disappointed. I am looking forward to trying this, if I get hold of enough blackberries, thank you for sharing the recipe.
