I've got a bit laissez faire about sharing with the garden wildlife. Not completely: the bloody snails and slugs can bugger off. But the birds...? And I'd love a squirrel: we only have the red ones, but I've never seen one near where I live, I suspect because it's a bit too cultivated maybe. Still - I get about 3 cherries each year for eg - but that's fine somehow.
@JimmyB @IcooIey @lionelb @Sarah111well we definitely share! I do need to think about preserving fruit next. I can only eat so much jam and don’t have enough freezer space for everything. Any suggestions?

Preserve cherries in brandy then encase in chocolate.
Top family favourite. Cheap cooking brandy works fine for me. Big kilner jars - bottle in June/July I think. And then produce at Christmas.
Sent my daugher off to uni the Netherlands with a big jar of them - without thinking about it too hard. Turns out it was a big hit, but also...a big hit in her halls.
