In this edition of the Dales Chef, Bruce gets excited about all the goodies he can get for free and what he can do with them. Being a Yorkshireman, owt for nowt is good news and, as September is nature's pantry month, Bruce is rubbing his hands together with glee!
We cover Sloes, Damsons, Crab Apples Hazelnuts, plums and look at what to do with them once you're back in the kitchen.
There's top tips for making the best Sloe Gin, Rosehip Ice cream and proper apple sauce.
Chutneys, pickles and jams - all from the bountiful glut of free stuff that our hedgerows and orchards deliver at this time of year.
Apple cake and fruit compote are a must, plus we take Sloe Gin to another level with Sloe Gin and cranberry sauce!
