Apple and Blackberry Cumberland Sausages

This recipe is very much bang in season the blackberries are everywhere in Cumbria and who does not love Cumberland Sausage, we all have our favourite. This recipe is a wonderful take on that very familiar combination of blackberry and apple but not with crumble this time ! with Cumberland sausages. The sweetness works well with the sausage and then the acidity of the vinegar bring the balance in which for me is so important in cooking. This recipe is very much a reflection on whats going on outside with the weather and whats available, the minute September the 1st arrived Autumn seemed to pop its head up and is here to stay. The autumn as a chef is one of my favourite times of year as it offers up so many exciting flavours and ingredients to enjoy in the kitchen.
