We're delighted to offer a varied and high quality range of local produce which is made with great taste and great ingredients as the priority! From our own Nurses Cottage kitchen comes a range of traditionally made and locally sourced cottage creations which represent the very best that the fields, hedgrows, allotments and small holdings of Bredon has to offer. Handpicked elderflowers from the slopes of Bredon Hill. The cordial is made and bottled locally - in turn this reduced the unnecessary transport miles. We use an old traditional recipe It is blended and infused with natural lemons and it contains no artificial flavourers or sweeteners. Blackberry and Apple This preserve is made every autumn when the blackberries emerge in September. All the blackberries are handpicked from the hedgerows on Bredon Hill. The apples are sourced from little Comberton and we use the good old fashioned varieties such as Bramley. The trees are not sprayed. The fruit preserve contain a high fruit ratio to sugar. Again no artificial sweeteners or flavouring are used. Mulberry and apple I'm on the campaign to re-awaken people to the fantastic and forgot fruit of the Mulberry! What is it, what do they look like and what does it taste like? I had no idea until quite recently; my only knowledge of a mulberry was the nursery rhythm "here we go around the Mulberry bush". I have since found a local source in Wyre Piddle. They are rather like raspberries, but bigger, and if eaten under ripe very sourer. But if eaten when ripe they are very juicy- (turn your hands red like blood) and very tasty. You know when a mulberry is ripe as you have to shake the tree, and the ripe ones fall to the ground. This is a top notch fruit preserve that you must try. Purple Pershore Plum Perserve. This is our unique variety of plum to the local area. Mr Martin (see photo) first grew this plum in the 1930's and it still found today. This is a firm favourite with our customers. This is a truly fruity preserve, containing more plums to sugar. Again, it containers no artificial flavours or sweeteners Pickled Shallots We have a productive allotment in Little Combrerton were we grow, as much as possible, all our vegetables including shallots. We also buy in local shallots when needed. Pickled in small batches with our own spiced vinegar which uses an old family recipe. Great with cheese and cider! Pickled Onions Again home grown when in season. Pickled in small batches. A true delight with cheeses. Very dangerous once jar is opened though, as can you resist another? Homemade and home grown using varied seasonally produced veggies. Choose from these three great varieties: Winter Warmer With the bite of home grown chillis. Christmas Date and Prune Made using a family recipe to make your yule feasts complete. Glutney Chutney Using homegrown produced goodies which change with the seasons. whatever is to hand on the autumn allotment goes into Glutney Chutney.Be it courgettes or plums, onions or shallotts fired up with our home grown chilles, Glutney Chutney is a taste of the seasons.
