Whitecurrant jelly made with whitecurrants donated by our lovely allotment neighbour.

Rhubarb chutney made with rhubarb donated by @vivienlloyd thank you again Vivien! 🌱💕 Not sure when we can start to do markets or workshops etc. again but we can sell direct. Proceeds go to local charities, we donate our time & resources, not for profit.

@AlisonSpurrell Ah thank you. We have to use our standard ones, to simplify things with weights & measures/trading standards etc. and so our new lids fit. But we can reuse our jars so accept any of our empties back.

Steeped those discarded redcurrants & blackberries from making jellies in @ostlersmill cider vinegar to make perky fruity vinegars, lovely for summery salads. And elderflower cordial for refreshing summer drinks.😋

All that donated fruit from @vivienlloyd is now pots & pots of redcurrant jelly, bramble jelly and gooseberry jam! Ready to be donated to local community charities. 🙏💕👏(+we ran out of sugar & jars so have bottled the surplus redcurrant juice to preserve & use as pectin stock.)

We didn’t think we’d be able to continue during the pandemic tbh BUT then fabulous preserving queen @VivienLloyd came to our rescue with a surprise delivery of homegrown fruit! Thank you so much Vivien, jellying is in progress. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#spreadthelove #lovefoodhatewaste

@FareShareSW Ok have organised help we’ll drop off later today if that’s alright.

@BristolJamPlan We are accepting donations from the public if you want us to redistribute to high priority groups. Feel free to deliver straight to warehouse if so!

We are well-placed & committed to being part of the solution to getting food to the most vulnerable who will be at increased risk of hunger in these challenging times. We are working closely with @BristolCouncil & other regional orgs to ensure a strategic & united response. -Pt.1

@FareShareSW I want to donate but don’t drive so delivering may be tricky for me.

@FareShareSW We have preserves available to local charities, food banks, shelters etc. for free. Possibly not considered an absolutely essential item but may make bread etc. a bit more exciting.

In the coming few days we will be publicly appealing for specific support & hope you will remain tuned in to our social media channels to see if there is anything you or your organisation can do to help us make sure no one goes hungry unnecessarily. #COVID2019 #charity #bristol

Just a CV update: We will be suspending prep sessions, workshops and deliveries until further notice. But if any food banks would like some preserves, and can get someone to pick up from us, please let us know.

Well, that was fun. Thanks all who came along. Will do another one I think later this month.

A couple of spaces left for our kimchi workshop session this Sunday 8th March at 12 noon. Make a batch of kimchi to take home. We’ll also be including a couple of examples of how to cook with kimchi, with tasters. 🥟 😋 Dm or email for details.

Next preserving workshop on Sunday 8th March. If you were to come along, which would you fancy having a go at next?

@CHSW @mandi247 Done ✅

@BristolJamPlan @mandi247 Hi @BristolJamPlan - feel free to donate here 👉 chsw.org.uk/donate 🙏 Thank you!

Thanks everyone who came to marmalade workshops yesterday, and thank you @SeedSwapBristol @TrinityBristol for having us today! We have £150 in the kitty to donate to a local charity now. Any ideas folks?

@mandi247 @CHSW Thank you very much. I can donate online through the site?

@BristolJamPlan @SeedSwapBristol @TrinityBristol @CHSW would really appreciate the donation- Charlton Farm provides the only residential hospice care in Bristol for children with life limiting conditions. chsw.org.uk

Prepped and ready. A couple of spots on the later session (3-5pm) now available if anyone fancies having a go?

We’ve been busy stocking up & preparing for our second marmalade workshop tomorrow! Then we’re doing a little stall @SeedSwapBristol @TrinityBristol on Sunday!

We’ll be doing a little preserves stall here @SeedSwapBristol Sunday 9th Feb 12-4at Trinity Centre. Free to attend, great talks by gardeny legends, and a chance to swap oodles of seeds! 🌱🌶🌽🌼🥒🥬🌻🥕🥦🌸

@VivienLloyd @MarmaladyAJ @thepamthejam Yes we don’t do those either.

@MarmaladyAJ @BristolJamPlan @thepamthejam Thanks Mine avoids adding butter and a waxed disc under a lid

For people asking about how to make marmalade, here’s a good recipe from Delia which is very close to how we do it. A handy little video too. deliaonline.com/recipes/intern… 🍊🧡
