purple is what happens to your kitchen when you defrost the freezer and find a mixture of berries leftover from last summer....
and purple is the sweet sweet smell of berries bubbling away.
and purple is the sight of jars of thick syrupy jelly waiting to be splodged onto scones.....
purple is also the jewelled centres of portable crumble, inspired by Emma. thanks Emma it's delicious x
and out in the garden, purple is amongst the tinge of grey in these thistles
and in the clematis creeping over from next door's garden
borrowed purple is just as beautiful xxx

"Splodged" is my new favorite word :)
ReplyDeleteI love purple and dark berry colours - especially as we head towards autumn. I picked my first blackberries today...
ReplyDeleteWe picked and ate hundreds of juicy blackberries today- YUM but it's not September. What is going on? Good colours in this post, am now craving toast and bramble jelly... Ax
ReplyDeleteI'm a lover of everything purple (except bruises of course).
ReplyDeleteThose 'on the hoof crumbles' sound rather scrummy. Well done Queen Delia - you're the best.
we made the crumble too - with apple and currants mmmm
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of jam making...and the smells!
ReplyDeleteYummy, you make it all look so,so delicious, I feel like I need to get baking and jam making.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is making jam...makes me want to make it too. But then what would I do with it?
ReplyDeletemmm...breathing in all this lovely, purple delight! And nothing sweet than homemade jam/jelly... Happy Day ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteMouth = watering!

Purple is such a great colour, one of my favourites, especially in the deep berry colours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purples! The fresh jelly looks magnificent. Portable crumble is genius. The flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou made jam. I have never made jam. What's WRONG with me? I need to remedy that this year.
ReplyDeletei love purple berry tones ~ and your jam looks wondeful. we recently defrosted our freezer too and found rhubarb which was rustled up into a crumble ~ delicious x
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of your berry jam - can't wait till berries are in season here again.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing more glorious on a slightly dreary afternoon than seeing that jar of purple jewelled loveliness.
ReplyDeleteI have definitely missed reading this blog!
