 Preserves – Creative All Sorts  Christine says “‘This week I’ll be bringing something old, something new, a few firm favourites and nothing blue! Beer mustard makes a reappearance after a year. This time made with organic mustard seeds and Proper Job Cornish IPA – throw in a pinch of dried chili and an ooze of honey – suddenly you have a staple for Springtime barbecues.  Making their debut this week are 6 jars of preserved lemons to add a bit of sunshine and tang to your cooking and salads. There will be much Piccalilli (both types), fruity, spicy Persimmon chutney, strawberry balsamic jam… and much more. Wait – there IS something blue! I’ll be bringing some gift sets of three small preserves packaged in a carry box with a gift tag and blue ribbon for a last minute Mother’s Day gift. Come and say hi!”
