Damsons?

Somewhere along the way we developed a healthy respect for damsons.  For the uninitiated, these are a variety of wild plum that makes great jams and tastes really good when stewed and eaten with ice-cream.

So....... several years ago we planted three small damson trees in our yard and patiently waited.  This year we have been blessed with our first crop of home grown damsons.  We couldn't rests eating them immediately, and they were everything we had hoped for!  With any luck we'll get a second crop before the summer is over.
