What a lovely Jam, and all in a Pickle
I watched with pure pleasure, for over 4 hours (albeit 3 fabulous food breaks), whilst these 2 absolute joys enthused, nattered, stirred, boiled and informed us lucky 25 of many recipes and generously shared their vast experience.
The course was well planned, we all recieved pamphlets of the recipes, but the full "Jam Packed" recipe book by Pam was available to buy at a special price. Pam 'the Jam' Corbin kindly signed and personalised my book.
Truely inspired - we even were provided with discount voucher for the on line supplier of jam paraphenalia www.jamjarshop.com
Having a special view of the walled garden, with gardener John - an authority on lunar planting, was a real pleasure
Loads more information to follow....soon!

IFE - the international food and drink event
I was at the International Food Event - IFE - yesterday and was amazed at the number of artisan snacking products! Is there enough room in the marketplace? Do I detect a Jamaican trend coming this way? Functional drinks abounded too.
A few products stood out for me:
Tillmans of Sweden: Organic Cordial and Preserves - Sweden has a longer sunshine enriched growing time, so the fruits are sweeter. The strawberry and the Rhubard cordials were delicious.
Spencerfield Edinburgh Gin: Wonderful rounded flavour, a hint of heather - I had a wee taster neat, which was surprisingly good (undliuted) - unrasping and very full in flavour of juniper, which blended so well with coriander and citrus....I will be buying a bottle to have with tonic, for sure.
The Ice co: Crushed ice for Mojitos - what a fantastic idea, I almost broke a liquidiser trying to crush ice for a party last year.. wish I'd known!
Alara Muesli: Amazingly, from the middle of London, very chewy - probably needs to be soaked - but favoursome and chunky with brazil nus and pineapple chunks...I'm going to also try the sample pack in a cookies recipes.... I'm very fond of cookies!
