These include the Lemon Cheese, Herb jellies and Rum Butter. Chris developed the fudge and toffee to compliment these traditional preserves and now makes several tempting varieties including one using local Cumbrian butter.Chris and Jo also make marmalade and preserves from local fruit in season.

Pickled Pink
Joan and Richard Crawford's pickles, chutneys, cordials and sauces are “preserves to relish” according to a recent newspaper article about their new preserves business. “Pickled Pink” by name, they make traditional and modern preserves which are increasingly in demand. All are hand crafted, no additives used . Chutneys such as “Thai Banana and Coconut Chutney” and “Bell Pepper Relish” contrast with old favourites such as Piccalilli (superbly tangy & crunchy) and a delicious Rhubarb and Orange Chutney . The “Hot Chilli Sauce” is much in demand as is the hyper-hot cordial ”Gingerette.” “Elderflower Cordial” by contrast is refreshingly subtle . Contact
