Shabby Preserves

Ash & Abi muddle their way through jamming, jellying, liqueuring, chutneying, pickling & cordialing. They beg, borrow & pick to keep safe the best of nature.

That awkward moment when you realise you've bought a courgette to work by accident.

[Shabby Preserves @shabbypreserves]

Well, it's a new year but some things never change. The Seville oranges have made an appearance. Who's making marmalade this year?

Check out the beautiful wrapping Abi did on our hamper boxes. Makes me feel Christmassy just seeing them!

[Shabby Preserves @shabbypreserves]

Big and little bottles of cassis, all ready to go into our hampers. Kept a bottle for ourselves, naturally.
