Book Description
"A book with appeal to lovers of heritage fruits and historical recipes and cookery. This book places the damson in historical context, explaining the fruit's cultural significance. History chapters grounded in archival research trace damson cultivation and use in the UK and the US. Chapters on damson 'culture' include folklore, interviews with farmers and enthusiasts, and an ethnographic account of Damson Day in the Lyth Valley, celebrated every Spring as the blossom heralds the arrival of warm weather. The recipe section offers a curated selection of recipes both new and historical (adapted for contemporary home cooks)."--Provided by publisher.
