Sample our Jams & Chutneys

Our Jams

Our jams are not certified organic; however principal ingredients are organic. The blackcurrants and raspberries are from our own production and the sugar is certified organic. Sometimes we are able to provide cherry or plum jams which are made with non-treated fruit from a neighbour's orchard.

Our Chutneys

We produce the principal ingredients for our chutneys: butternut squash, potimarron squash (uchiki kuri) and beetroot. The apples come from a neighbours orchard and are not treated with chemicals. The spices, vinegar, dried fruit and onions are not certified organic.

What is chutney ?

Chutney is a sweet and sour condiment, made with fruits and vegetables cooked with a mixture of vinegar, sugar and spices. Originating in India, it is there most often eaten raw and rarely sweet. Durung the colonial epoch the english began to commercialise it adding sugar and pulling back on chilli content judged too strong. It has become a British speciality now available in many different flavours.

How to use chutney ?

Traditionally, chutney accompanied curry dishes. Today it is served with roast vegetables, certain meats, cheese or as an apperitif. It serves to enhance natural flavours (like mustard). It is normally served cold.
