How to apple jelly. This is by far my favourite thing to do with windfall apples, the early bloomers that fall from the trees early. Like crab apples, they are usually small and not great for eating, but they are a preservers best friend. I make a big glut to see me through autumn and winter.

How to make Guinness or Irish stout brown bread. This traditional Irish recipe is delicious and easy to do. You can use molasses if you can’t find treacle. Serve this up with a big slathering of Irish butter.

How to make glazed baby turnips and garden peas with basil cream sauce. The transitional period from summer to autumn in Ireland offers an array of exciting and vibrant ingredients. There’s leafy greens and freshness but also some heartier root vegetables hitting shelves. I wanted to create something that was vibrant and celebratory of the season that we’re currently in. This makes a wonderful side dish or a veg-focused main to share.
