invited to enter our ‘Enchanted Garden Competition’

In 2021 all our visitors have the opportunity to download a FREE eBOOK.
Do you remember your mother, or your grandmother making
their own delicious jam? Or tasty chutneys and pickles?
Many people have fond memories from the past of homemade
preserves, but with the easy accessible ready made products on
the supermarket shelves the motivation to make their own has
been waning... until now! The value of “home made” is seeing
a welcome resurgence, but have we lost the knowledge?
ACS’s food preservation e-book by John Mason comes to the beginner’s
rescue, introducing the reader to a range of ways to preserve food.
