It is decision time .... you have one month left to get your jars in for the 2025 awards . Need inspiration go to Anna Lupton - Pinterest account and look up the World Jam Festival ,there are even recipes to go with these too. You may be digging out your granny's favourite recipes .Sometimes the most straightforward recipes are the best. If you are not a jam maker - think jelly, marmalade or chutney, there are so many different preserves you can put in a jar .The question to be answered Is your jar the show stopper . There is so much fruit to choice from in this garden and the little tree has apricots on . There is a peach tree which I have been nurturing since the one and only peach was formed.

There will be a competition for the Best Alice in Wonderland so time to look out your fancy dressing up clothes. We are hoping to make it a fun day for everyone and plenty of jam to sample and buy

I have been busy making some jam for the awards .Last year as founder I entered some just to see what the judges thought and I was delighted with the feedback. I thought people would think it was a fix if I won so I then withdrew it . This year I am going to enter some and see if it comes up against some of the others. I doubt it but if you are not in it you cant win it. And I would love to be able to sing and dance if I got a certificate - there are gold, silver and bronze awards and then an overall winner for 2023 who will also recieve a limited addition print amongst other. With the chance to bring their winning produce along to the festival and sell to the public. There has been some amazing entries from all over the World . Iran ,NZ ,Australia and some of the most unlikely combinations . The clock is ticking and there is now only 2 weeks and a bit to get your preserves over to us. .
