Apple and Ginger Jam

Apple and Ginger Jam

Another fantastic local producer to shout about, Susan Mahony of Dibden Perlieu makes exceedingly jams and preserves in the most traditional of ways. I picked up a jar of Apple and Ginger jam at my local suppliers Keith of PetStop at the Thursday market in Shirley.

The jam has a fabulous sweet fruity flavour with a slightly tart edge as the apple fades and then a beautiful warm spicy flavour from the Ginger, it went wonderfully with the toasted crumpets. Highly enjoyable and I'll be looking forward to breakfast tomorrow.

I don't have any contact details for Susan at the minute, I'll update here when I do.

Waitrose Apple Strudel

Waitrose Apple Strudel

In my battle to counter act the all nice food is bad for you people who want you to eat flavourless dull food here is an idea for morning coffee or afternoon tea or whenever you fancy it really

Those jolly nice people at Waitrose have the most fabulous Patisserie is the majority of their stores, my local store in Southampton is especially good and always full of the most delicious treats. After dropping the kids off at school I stopped off on my way home, it was en route, honest.

Their strudel is packed full of layers of tasty apple with a little crunch, succulent sultanas and subtle spice notes. These are all wrapped up in paper thin buttery pasty and dusted in sweet icing sugar. At £1.19 it is a bargain and less than half of the price of a generic high street coffee, make your own coffee it's nicer and cheaper and buy yourself a treat.

Enjoy
