I can&#8217;t possibly start buying fruit after many years totally self-sufficient in my own fruit :), so I&#8217;m drying some berries I don&#8217;t normally use dried for the winter, cutting them up as these are slow driers. I believe, but aren&#8217;t totally sure, that these are Worcesterberries (they are thorny bushes, otherwise I would have said that they are Jostaberries). \u00a0I&#8217;m also drying a few late saskatoons (Amelanchier spp. &#8211; these I normally dry). Luckily I also still have quite a few dried apples from last year&#8217;s bumber crop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1480338.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2392\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1480338-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"P1480338\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1480338-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1480338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1480335.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2393\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1480335-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"P1480335\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1480335-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P1480335.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s been an almost complete failure of apples and plums this year (this has never happened before in my 35 years here).
