Our damson trees got massively pruned (not by me) a couple of years ago and we lost most of the fruit bearing branches you can reach.
Last year we were away and the birds and wasps had everything left!!
I manage to pick just under a kilo and a half this year and put them in the fridge to deal with. Life got in the way and quite a few were spoiled when I came to process. There wasn’t enough to make much jam so I just stewed them up with some soft brown sugar to have with our yogurt breakfasts. I only got 3 small pots and gave frozen two of them. I hope to try the other one this week and will let you know
