The day before yesterday we tried a reverse walk of one we had done before...and a little variation along what looked like an unused old track, with banks and hedges grown into trees.
We were aiming for returning up a hedgerow where we had spotted wild apples.
We found some on the old trackway, but thought can't overload ourselves here...and when we got to the original tree, they had gone!!
So yesterday we returned to our second source and picked up a large shopping bag full....and it doesn't look as if any have been taken!!
Four pounds of apples after preparation, two pounds of reduced price cranberries, half a bulb of garlic, mixed spice, cayenne, salt, a quart of vinegar....= a full maslin pan of chutney!! (And a rather sticky kitchen floor!) Twenty-one jars done...storecupboard and presents sorted!!

It is a lovely rich colour!
And I have the post industrious-kitchen-session sticky floor too!

I like your pebble idea. One often enjoys reading a post to find one is at a loss for words!
That's an amazing amount of apples not picked up yet! Glad they were waiting for you! Those are beautiful jars of chutney!
Impressive! I wonder if the squirrels pulled all the apples down, or had they simply fallen in the wind and snow?
Your kitchen must have smelt amazing!
S&S it certainly did!
