The First of the Damsons

These little beauties were quickly despatched with and put into a damson crumble last night. There seems to be a very good crop this year.

Ha ! Did exactly the same last evening 😂 never did it before though, usually eat them all 😉 but it was a good pie ☺️
Lovely Turkish (?) bowl

@momamo Yes, a Turkish bowl. And funnily enough, I almost entitled the photo 'Scottish Damsons, Turkish Bowl'!

[Carole G]

Oh yum, don’t see many damsons here

[Maggiemae]

They almost look like grapes! Lovely blush on them!

[haskar]

Looks yummy. Lovely tone and focus.

[Wylie]

Don't think I've ever heard of them. Nice shot of them in the lovely Turkish bowl!

[Pat Knowles]

That is such a pretty display. Love your bowl....love the bloom on the damsons & love the sound of damson crumble!
Damson gin time soon then!

Lovely capture

[Denise Wood]

Beautifully captured in a lovely bowl - but I have to show my Aussie ignorance and ask what a damson is? They look a bit like plums to me :)

[Issi Bannerman]

@gilbertwood They’re a sub-species of the plum. So you’re not far wrong! They come earlier and are smaller than regular Victoria plums. They’re more prune-like in flavour when cooked, too.

[Denise Wood]

@jamibann Thanks for the quick response :) I'll have to see if they are here in Aus - in summer of course!

[Casablanca]

Beautiful still life and I like your level angle. Looks utterly delicious too!

[Babs]

They look delicious, my mouth is watering. I love the bowl too

[Molly]

Mmmm! Lovely composition. My father will be using his to make damson gin!

[Margo Sayer]

This is splendid! Deserves multiple favs. The fruit and the bowl are perfect companions, just oozing Summer. VML your POV...on your knees?!

The plums in the beautiful bowl make a lovely subject.

[Taffy]

They look beautiful in the still life, and must have tasted great in the crumble.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm not familiar with this fruit- they remind me of plums. The dessert sounds tasty and the bowl is beautiful.

[Issi Bannerman]

@s4sayer Indeed, yes!
