Not the most inspiring photo, but it’s one I’m really pleased about.

For a long time I’ve wanted to be plastic free in packaging & postage.

Well I’ve sourced different metal caps, rather than the plastic ones, for my vinegars that can be kerbside recycled, along with my bottles, jars & lids. Although I’m still looking for a pourable metal cap for my dressing bottles 🥴

My biggest plastic use was in postage. I’d recycle the bubble wrap my jars would arrive in, but thankfully my supplier no longer used it.

And now all packaging for my stockist & internet orders is all recycled & biodegradable. Sadly still looking for a descent bio packing tape. But keep trying different ones & will find one eventually. If you know of one, please let me know 🙏🏻

I do reuse cardboard boxes that I get coming in, so you may receive your order in an odd box & not a shiny new one 😉

I so wanted to be totally plastic free by the end of the year, but I’m much closer than I was at the beginning of this year - getting there & so pleased to be this far forward 🥳

Website is updated & a new Gift box has been added

Website is updated & a new Gift box has been added.

This time it’s a perfect present for all the gin lovers out there.

A selection of my Great Taste award winning fruit vinegars/shrubs.

- Strawberry & Black Pepper Balsamic Vinegar ⭐️
- Raspberry Vinegar ⭐️⭐️
- Wild Blueberry, Pink Peppercorn & Thyme Vinegar ⭐️⭐️⭐️

All of these are amazing in Gin, drizzle on salads or as a Jus. So a great gift for a foodie or a budding mixologist.

Each hand finished gift box comes with 3 full size bottles of vinegars & a couple of cocktail recipes too.

I truly hope that the recipients of these gift boxes will love them as much as the great taste judges & I do.

Much love,

Francine x

Have I missed an announcement overnight where preserves are a cure for #COVID19 ? 🥴
As my website has been wiped clean, I know it was low but 😱
Please bear with me until this evening when I can update it again

Thank you for your support, means so much,

Every element put into an true artisan business is something that is handmade from start to finish. Even my little gift boxes are all individually stamped & adorned with a hand tied tag 🏷, hopefully making each & every one a pleasure to be received.

Yes I could get printed ones, but would they really be the same? 🤔 not for me anyway, it’s just a way of spreading (see what I did there 😜) the love of what I do.

Quince Jelly being jarred ready to go out to @dursladefarmshop

Just look at the colour of that crystal clear jelly, looks like a jewel & tastes absolutely incredible.

Perfect addiction to any Christmas cheeseboard & coldcuts on Boxing Day of course.

New gift box selection of mini jars - Boozy Breakf

New gift box selection of mini jars - Boozy Breakfast Gift Box

6 mini jars (110g) of my boozy marmalades.

- Gin & Tonic
- Mojito
- Espresso
- Limoncello
- Pink Gin
- Whisky

A perfect gift for marmalade lovers & those who wouldn’t say no to a tipple on their toast in the morning 😋

Limited Availability once they are gone, I won’t be making more this side of Christmas, sorry ☹️

Presented in a rustic gift box, with a Bumblee’s tag.

Don’t confuse my “mini” jar sizes with others. These aren’t the tiny little jars you often get in hotels & cafes, barely enough to cover a single scone. Mine are at least twice the size, giving you plenty to spend on your toast & you can even share (if you must 😉)
