Favourite Preserve

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?

Handlebar on this forum, his wife makes some fantastic Preserves and Chutneys.

My Favourite Is the Piccalilli :yahoo: and her Very Berry Jam :good: .

 

Her Strawberry Jam won the "World Jampionship" a couple of years ago.

 

All product found at Farmers Markets in Herts Beds Bucks and Oxfordshire

Her Rhubarb and Ginger is superb as well

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.

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.

 

:good:

PS: In lieu of the homemade stuff, Frank Cooper's vintage orange marmalade (the browny-looking one) isn't too bad.
