I seem to remember posting a year or two ago that I too was waiting for any fruit from a cranberry plant. Well, butter me pancakes - this spring I had some blossom and now berries!

I'm sure I planted this in 2009 (maybe 2010 at the latest), so it's taken a while. It was planted in erracaetous compost and only fed with the correct acid loving feed and rain water.

It's been so long in coming that I'm not sure what I'll do with them when they ripen - freeze and use at Christmas?

Hope you're well prepared for harvest time

Blimey. A tad smaller scale on my plot I think.

I watching Delia Through the Decades on Good Food channel the other day and they were covering the 'Delia effect' when she did her summer and winter collections.  She got an engraved award from cranberry growers for services rendered to the industry 

Anyway, she has a few recipes on her website which sound pretty good

Thanks New shoot. Hopefully I'll have enough for one of those recipes.
