Spring Jam and Marmalade

[suethejam]

I've just delivered some jams and marmalade to Pat - hopefully it will last until the Spring shows but get in quick as each one is a limited edition :-)

Jam:

Berry Bliss: Super-fruity mixed berry preserve enriched with blackberry liqueur

Mango Tango: Zingy mango and apple preserve with a dash of mango liqueur

Sumer is i-cumen in: Rich and complex summer fruit preserve enriched with cherry brandy – contains raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant and apple.

Plum Bee-licious: Tart, sweet, fruity – this plum, apple and honey preserve, enriched with damson wine, has it all!

Violets are blue: Charming wild blackberry preserve fragranced with French violet liqueur..

Cha Cha Cha: Let the flavours of cherry, chocolate and chilli dance on your tongue…also contains Bramley apples

Black Velvet: Black cherries, Bramley apples and Lindt dark chocolate – smooth! Perfect for that special cream tea…


Marmalade:

Tropicana (Award-winning recipe!): A tangy combination of lemons, clementines, jaffa oranges, red grapefruit, limes and stem ginger finished with a dash of mango liqueur - bring a glow of Mediterranean sunshine to your toast.

Refresher (Shredless): Mouth-watering three citrus marmalade (jaffa oranges, clementines, lemons) uplifted with a shot of watermelon liqueur.

Seville Serenade: A complex harmony of Seville oranges, sharpened with cranberries and intensified with rich quince paste. Delicious on toast but a spectacular substitute for chutney in a ham sandwich!

So excited - just got the results from the world marmalade awards......drumroll....

GOLD: for the Seville Serenade (Seville orange, quince & cranberry)

SILVER: for the Yo Ho Ho (Seville orange, rum & ginger) - I need to make more - it sold out bedore it got to Pat!

Aaaaand....

BRONZE: for the Tropicana (five citrus & mango liqueur)

Thrilled with those results - a real incentive to keep going and keep inventing :-)

Well done, Sue, you're a star! Watch out world if ever they do a Great British Jam Off!!!

I must say I absolutely adore anything with mango in, so let's hope I get a chance to buy some before it all goes!

[suethejam]

Ooh, just got home from boating and found a Bronze Certificate for the "Refresher" marmalade too - so all of this year's marmalades are award winners! Get your from Pat before they all go :-)

[sueb]

Oh, you're showing off now, Sue!!!

and so you should......!!

Anyone know how the jam/marmalade stock is doing? Trying to get a feel for how much I need to make towards the end of the month to stock you up :-)

Hi Sue yes more of both jam and marmalade required please. Is again selling well and the Brentwood show on 1st and 2nd will pretty well clear our current stock. So if you have time to make some more that would be fantastic!

[suethejam]

Excellent - I'll get jamming :-)

I`ve taken some stock for the belfairs show in May, so i`m ok with the amount. I have already sold a few jars to friends but will still have enough for the show.
