No, that’s not a typo. In the jungle that is next door’s garden grows a grapevine and we’ve allowed it to hang over our fence. Earlier this week we harvested the fruit and today I was processing it; grape juice, grape syrup and a jar of grapes in gin and sugar with a few cardamom pods thrown in.

That last one will need to mull for a while but the other two can (indeed, should) be used soon. I might use the syrup to try making something like turkish delight, as I couldn’t get any rose syrup last week.
