Christmas Offerings 2016
In the midst of a fall that has felt like summer it doesn't yet feel much like Christmas. But the calendar has no regard for weather and so Christmas will still be two months away, regardless of the weather outside! Christmas Offerings 2016 includes shortbreads and condiments, both in sweet and savoury versions.
The shortbreads are made from the finest ingredients; Balderson 5 year cheddar, Toblerone chocolate, organic flour and sweet butter. Each package contains 10 cookies.
As always most of the fruits and vegetables come from my organic garden. It was an unprecedented hot and dry season. Difficult for greens and germination. But, as always, there were certain things that thrived. It was a fantastic year for tomatoes, apples and wild grapes. And so there is a new jelly made from wild apple juice and infused with rosemary.
The jellies contain nothing but fruit juice and sugar (no commercial pectin). The marmalades highlight citrus fruits available only for a few weeks each year. The savoury condiments include a spicy ketchup made from my heirloom tomatoes, cayenne and jalapeno peppers. The pickles and relish come in 250 ml jars and everything else is in 125 ml jars.
You can order by email as often as you like. Order early, regardless of your delivery date, to ensure you get what you want. I make the condiments as the fruits and vegetables are in season so once they’re spoken for they’re gone. I continue to bake the shortbreads as orders come in so they’re always fresh. Let me know your preference for a delivery date and how many gift bags you would like.
Although butter has gone up a dollar a pound since last year, the prices remain unchanged. Each item is $5.
Have wonderful holidays!
