by Philippa DavisTomatoes are a great addition to almost any salad but when in season they deserve to be the star of the show. Make sure your tomatoes are at room temperature for maximum flavour. This tomato salad works perfectly with most varieties and with any size or colour, so is ideal if you have a glut in the garden. Each side serving provides 93 kcal, 1.2g protein, 4.8g carbohydrate (of which 4.6g sugars), 7.1g fat (of which 1g saturates), 1.9g fibre and 0.01g salt.

Put the raspberries in a large heavy-based pan or preserving pan. Sprinkle in the sugar, a third at a time, gently shaking the pan so the sugar is well distributed. Cover and leave for a couple of hours or overnight to draw out the juices. Lightly stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula to break up any clumps of sugar. Place the pan over a medium heat and bring to a steady boil, then boil for 5–6 minutes for a soft set jam, or 7–8 minutes for a firmer set.

Put the cabbage in a large lidded pan. Cover with water and boil for 3 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add the rapeseed oil and stir to coat the cabbage. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over a very low heat, stirring the cabbage every now and again, for 20 minutes or until softened. Rub the chops with the olive oil and season on both sides with salt and pepper.

Rinse the crab apples in cold water, removing any stalks or leafy bits – there’s no need to peel or core the apples, just chop them roughly. Place the crab apples and berries in a large saucepan with approximately 1 litre/1¾ pints water or just enough to cover the fruit. Bring to the boil, then simmer until all of the fruit is soft and pulpy, crushing it every so often with a potato masher or spoon to help break down the fibres. Remove from the heat.

Rinse the green tomatoes, remove the stalks and trim away any decaying areas. Slice, crosswise, into approximately 5mm/¼in pieces then cut the both ways across the slices into neat little cubes. Rinse the cucumber and trim the ends. Cut in half lengthwise – there is no need to peel unless the skins are tough or spiky. Remove the seeds by running the rounded end of a teaspoon along each cucumber half.

If you don’t have a sugar thermometer, a few hours before you want to make your jam, put a couple of small plates or saucers into your freezer. Wash the blackberries and add to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over a medium–high heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the blackberries have broken down and the remaining berries are almost submerged in their juice.

The redcurrant season is short, just a few weeks in midsummer, so don’t miss it. Redcurrants are rich in natural pectin and acid, making them a top-rate fruit for making jelly. Redcurrant jelly is a traditional accompaniment to roast lamb, as the acidity of the jelly balances the richness of the meat. It’s also excellent with poultry, sausages and oily fish. A spoonful added to caramelised onions or the Sunday gravy works wonders.
