I reduce the amount of sugar in my jam, to optimise the flavour of the fruit and like to experiment with complementary, seasonal additions, in order to create unique flavour combinations.All my fruit is produced without the use of pesticides/herbicides, hand picked from plot to pot within a few hours. I love knowing that, for each jar of jam I produce, I can point out exactly where the fruit comes from and what goes into it. As all the fruit is grown on my allotment, there is a limit to the number of preserves I can produce in one season, so you might have to wait a year for the next batch to become available. I also make a range of seasonal cordials. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/6e39e500-6bfa-11f1-ab89-8d4e81ebedeb-rimg-w983-h740-dc464732-gmir.jpg About the Community OrchardThis workshop will be run from the Community Orchard's beautiful outdoor kitchen.
