Chutney and jam swapping in Wells! See post for more details!

Preserves swap - A great idea Sustainable Wells!

So how much green tomato chutney can you actually eat?

It's hard to make small amounts of chutney and jam, so many of us end up with some of last year's pots in the cupboard when the season comes around to make it again.

So at Sustainable Wells' Repair Cafe on November the 4th (St Thomas Church Hall 10-12:30), you have the opportunity to swap some of your preserves. To take part, you need to label your jams, jellies, marmalades and chutneys with the name of the preserve, the date they were made (month & year) plus any allergens (mustard and nuts will be the ones to remember). It will also help if you list key ingredients if not obvious e.g. Christmas Chutney.

For every three jars you bring to swap, we ask that you provide one additional jar so that people who have none to swap can buy for a donation.
