I have in my fridges and/or on my counter tops
10lb of plums
16 large oranges
Strawberries
Raspberries
Lemons
Limes
Rhubarb
Bramley apples
Blackberries in the freezer
I don't have any wine making equipment. Really the only jam I'd make that would be eaten so don't really want to make more, same with chutney.
I have plenty of lemons and limes sliced in the freezer so would rather do something a bit different with them
Freezers are looking very, very full so may be quite tricky to get more in.
Any other ideas? Please and ta!

Plums -
Pumbrillo (like membrillo, you get in Spain, though that's made with quinces) http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/7728/plumbrillo great with cheese
Pickled Plums, recipe in 'Put Em Up! Fruit', http://www.storey.com/book_detail.php?isbn=9781612120249&cat=Food, let me know if you want me to scan and post
Five-Spice Plum Sauce, used in Chinese cooking eg Peking Duck, recipe in 'Put Em Up! Fruit', again let me know if you want me to scan and post

Strawberries -
Strawberry Balsamic Glaze, recipe in 'Put Em Up! Fruit'

Rhubarb -
Rhubarb Ginger Cordial, 2lb chopped rhubarb, 1/2 cup water, 2 cups vodka:), 1 cup sugar, fresh ginger ... boil rhubarb and water together for 10mins or so, add sugar and vodka, put in large sterilised container for a week or so (shake daily), strain out the solids, and bottle
Roasted Rhubarb, toss chopped rhubarb in sugar, roast in oven (375F) for 30 mins until fruit is tender, make a sugar syrup, put rhubarb in jars and cover with syrup

Raspberries -
Raspberry Gin, sprinkle raspberries with sugar, put in large kilner-type jar and cover with gin, turn every now and then, ready in 10 weeks
Pink Lemonade, similar to lemon cordial, recipe in 'How to Make Your Own Drinks' https://www.octopusbooks.co.uk/books/detail.page?isbn=9781845338411 (which also has lots of other ideas for making the most of a fruit glut)

Good find msgoggins. Fantastic you managed to find one too. :T

Hope you don't mind me saying but I don't think the peeling of stickers should be encouraged though.

Tis true. I'd hoped that it was worded carefully enough for peeps to make their own call...

Thank you JB I don't know what the first one is so I'll pass on that one but the pickled plums sound lovely. If you could do the do on that one please I'd be very grateful, but please don't go out of your way to do it, there's no immediate rush

Thanks to to everyone else who made suggestions, they're duly noted :cool:
