Damson

Damsons are a traditional British fruit related to the plum. These are grown right in Aberdeenshire and come from Huntly Herbs in Gartly, who have been producing award-winning organic preserves since 1999.

Damsons are unusually sweet and can be enjoyed straight from the fruit bowl as soon as they’re ripe. Alternatively, cook them into tarts, fools, and jams or use to uplift savoury dishes. They can be frozen - just half and remove the stone then lay them flat on a tray. Once frozen, put in freezer bags.
