  • Removing the core bits from tayberries

    Does anyone have any top tips for getting the woody middle bit out of tayberries? It's proving to be a very tedious job! When you pick rasps the middle bit stops on the plant, but not so with the tayberries.

    Do you core blackberries as well?
    The core being attached or not when the berry is ripe is a feature of the particular fruit - raspberries the ripe fruit parts from the core, backberries it stays with the fruit.

        Just pull the little crown of greenery off Hazel. The core is part of the fruit and fine to eat. I eat them fresh like this or made into jam. In neither case do I try to 'dig out' the middle.

          Can you post your jam recipe please? I got a tayberry in winter and though it won't fruit this year it is looking fine and I look forward to blackberry/rasperry jam in 2010. My 2 favourite jams together. But I do need a Yorkshire recipe.
          Why didn't Noah just swat those 2 greenflies?

          Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

            Your wish is my command! (Up to a point!)

            Tayberry Conserve (That's 'posh' for Jam!)

            1lb sugar
            2 tablespoons lemon juice
            1 lb tayberries.

            (You can double or treble this is course, as long as your jam pan is big enough)

            Put sugar and lemon juice into the pan and stir over a very low heat till sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Add berries and stir around gently so they are all covered in the syrup. Leave to stand for 15 - 30 minutes. Return the pan to the heat and cook steadily for 5 - 7 minutes or until the setting point is reached. Allow ro cool for a time, stir to distribute the fruit then pot into hot jars and seal.
