Now that Covid is largely behind us, Liz Woodall is resuming production of preserves and other store cupboard goodies to be sold for the benefit of st. Giles.  These will be on sale at the church after Sunday services, and at fund-raising events during the year.  The scheme raised £500 in the year before Covid - please come and buy to help us beat that target in 2023. 

This is what will be on offer - depending on what fruit and vegetables are available:

Marmalades - a wide range of different types to suit all tastes, available from February.

Summer Jams - made with organically grown soft fruit from the garden of Liz's family home.  The fruit is all hand-picked and prepared. 

Summer Pudding Mix - one of Liz's specialities; jars of ready-made soft fruit mixture to fill your Summer puddings.

Summer Pickles - light pickles to go with cold meats and salads; especially good al fresco!

Autumn Jams & Jellies - from locally-grown damsons and crab apples; the Spiced Damson Jam made from a family recipe is particularly special!

Pie & Crumble Fruit - bottled apple & blackberry, and other fruits if available.

Chutneys - made in the Autumn (so they will have matured in time for Christmas) from Liz's apples and locally-sourced vegetables.

Christmas Fare - Mincemeat and Christmas Puddings will be available to buy from the traditional time of Stir-Up Sunday at the end of November.  Puddings come in a range of sizes from individual to large family. 

All the ingredients are locally-grown or sourced from independent suppliers; there are no additives, and everything comes in re-used jars, so this is a very healthy and eco-friendly initiative.  

Contact Liz through the Get in Touch page to reserve produce if you cannot come to the church.  We may be able to deliver in Ludford/Ludlow, but cannot despatch by post, etc.

Marmalades currently available:

Chunky - for those who prefer their marmalade with body.

Classic - rich-coloured Seville orange marmalade.

Homely - a simple, uncomplicated preserve.

Lime - makes an interesting change.

Oxford - strong and very dark with chunky-cut peel.

St. Clements - a refreshing choice made with oranges and lemons.

Sweet - made entirely with sweet oranges,

Whisky - with a good-sized tot of Scotch.

None of the marmalades contain grapefruit; this is because it interferes with the effectiveness of commonly-prescribed medication for cardiac conditions and high blood pressure.
