Scully Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 This should probably be in the Food and Drink section but didn't think it would be seen too often down there, so apologies to mod's, who of course can move it if they wish. Living in a small market town there are a few farmers wives etc who specialise in chutneys and preserves, with one in particular who makes Spiced Damsons in cinnamon, which is indescribable with a good soft blue on a good cracker, and also a gorgeous Lemon Curd, and just recently another young lass has started creating a lish Piccalilli, and I have just tried her Clementine and Bourbon marmalade; absolutely sublime on warm toast. What is your favourite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Marks & Spencer's caramelised red onion chutney, had plenty of others but I think theirs is by far the best! It's pretty much the only thing I like on cheese n biscuits now because nothing else compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinach Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Runner bean or beetroot chutney great with cheese but equally good on a spoon! Quince jelly or cheese also gets my approval. I used to make them but found out that the local WI do it well and without the house smelling of boiling vinegar and stuff. But have yet to try a good roman jelly that anyone else has made. John.

lord_seagrave Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 My mother's homemade grapefruit marmalade (she's spent the last 18 months living in Greece, so her home made and home grown treats have a decidedly continental vibe). It's deliciously bitter - the sugar only mellows and preserves the fruit flavour, as opposed to most jams, where sugar is the dominant flavour. LS PS: In lieu of the homemade stuff, Frank Cooper's vintage orange marmalade (the browny-looking one) isn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
