Fruit Cordials
Too much fruit? There are other things than jam to make. Fruit cordials are so very versatile - just make maybe one each month and you will soon have a whole array of flavours to choose from. They can just be diluted to straight long drinks in a hot Summer, a mixer for grown-up drinks, cocktails, ice-lollies - you can never have too many
They are ideal for using fruit that is too ripe to make into set preserves and they are so much more wholesome than the commercial version made with artificial sugars and sweeteners
Look at the lurid 'orangeness' of a shop bought squash compared to the pale orange translucent liquid that a homemade cordial turns out to be
I always think, when I go to buy something, look at the ingredients list -f it has more than three or four items listed I put it back. Homemade cordial has fruit, sugar and citric acid (made from, er, cirtus fruit )- no chemicals of any kind. There is a lot of sugar but the contents of the bottle are diluted so the amount in each serving is acceptable. The sugar needs to be there as it is the preservative.
So, try them out, I am confident you will be amazed
Our Workshops are friendly, no experience of cooking or preserving is necessary and we try to use everyday, familiar equipment. You can cook along with the Live Workshop or use the recording which will be place in The Library of the School soon after the Workshop finishes
So, take advantage of the block booking discounts to access all of the Season's Workshops with the security of knowing you won't miss anything.
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our preserving family

I've thoroughly enjoyed your workshops over the last year and have learnt so much about preserving - there's a whole world out there, not just jams! Your warm and friendly approach is greatly appreciated, and you answer all our questions with endless patience. Thanks for giving me the confidence to experiment - as you say, what could go wrong?!
