For several years we have made a range of popular cordials using foraged flavours, and sold these alongside our other preserves.

It is with some regret that for 2018 we have decided to stop making the cordials, which we know will disappoint some of our customers.

The problem is one of pasteurisation. If order to make cordials last 12 months they all have to be pasteurised, a process which involves them being immersed in near boiling water for a prescibed period. If you have a pasterising boiler this is not a problem, but when we are travelling the amount of power we have available is not enough to satisfy the machine. We tried hooking up a 2kw generator, but even that was not enough and the drain caused the inverter to overload.

We are therefore rather sorry to be saying goodbye to our range of cordials, but by way of an alternative we are expanding our range of jellies.

Our apologies if you are a cordial lover.
