A pomace is the pulpy remains after fruit (or vegetable) has been crushed in order to extract its juice or oil. It contains skins, pulp, seeds and stems of the fruit. It's a cheap source of dietary fibers, antioxidants, pectin and other nutrients. Pomace can be turned into the distilled products, used to make animal feed, recycled as mulch, processed to make grapeseed oil and flour.
In this recipe I am incoperating blackberry and rosemary residues from making fruit curd into the sourdough bread. The add of pomace adds more freshness, fruitiness, depth and colour to the bread. Last but not least nothing is wasted. You can bake the bread into a batard, boule or a regular sandwich loaf. Although pomace is absolutely compostable and perfectly okay inside a composting bin, it's still better if it ends up on the plate.

A delicious late summer tart made with a melt-in-mouth buttery spelt-pepita crust, filled with a mildly nutty pepita frangipane cream and topped with a mixture of mirabelles and ederberries (or any fruit you have on hand).
Mirabelle is another delectable European heirloom plum. Small round yellow fruit with yellow red dots. They’re the smallest of the more than 2,000 plum varieties found worldwide, weighing only about 10 g each. The ripe mirabelle plums are delicately aromatic, juicy, sweet, low in calories and rich in vitamins. The mirabelle was probably named after plums grown in Southern France where they were cultivated under the name of mirabel, which means look (mira) and, of course beautiful. Mirabelle plums are very good for compote, jam or cakes and tarts.
Elderberry is dark purple fruit from the elderberry shrub. It's a rich source of antioxidants and vitamins. It has long been used in traditional medicine and appears to have some medicinal benefits.
According to Webmd, elderberries could help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart, too. Some experts recommend elderberry to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms. Raw and unripe elderberries contain a poison called cyanide. So they should always be cooked before they're consumed.

Make the most of foraged Mirabelles and hedgerow blackberries in this wonderful baked fruit dessert. There’s something rather satisfying about foraging food in nature and turning them into something delicious to enjoy. This cobbler recipe works great with all types of fruit and is an excellent dessert that is light on sugar and doesn't compromise on flavour--a healthyish and comforting summertime dessert, especially when served with a drizzle of coconut cream or top with a creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. I baked this in a 30-cm cast iron pan, but a casserole dish or mini cast-iron skillets would work just great.

These soft, overnight sourdough rolls with no added commercial yeast are the perfect breakfast or afternoon tea treat! Baked with an enriched sweet dough, a homemade wild blackberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar. I used rye sourdough starter with 100% hydration, but spelt or wheat starter would work just fine. Sourdough adds so much flavour and really brings these jam rolls up a level. You can frost them with a cream cheese glaze if desired.

This tomato couscous bowl is perfect for meal prepping and packing up for lunches. All of the components are so fresh and great on their own, but somehow taste even better when combined together in a bowl. Instead of couscous, you can use brown rice, quinoa, kamut, or buckwheat for this deliciously healthy and wholesome summer bowl.
