Recipes & Tips

For ourselves, our community, and the planet, the modern day benefits of preserving our own food have an impact that extends far beyond our kitchens.

Home Preserving is again gaining popularity as people want to know what’s in their food, reduce their food bills and enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Like you, we are also Home Canners & Preservers and have a lot of fun trying new recipes and different techniques.

In this page we share some tried and tested home preserving and give you information on various methods of storing food in our Jars and others products.

Like any new skill it can be daunting at first, but once you do a few batches of preserves you will soon understand why households are again turning to home preserving.

Enjoy ! Leanne & Mike

Running Your Own Business

It is said ‘if you think you can or you think you can’t – you are right’. Doing your own thing and starting a business is a real risk, but we believe the rewards are worth it.

Getting Back to the Good Life

They say things come back around if you wait for long enough, and it’s true. Preserving/bottling/pickling and being self-sufficient are not new concepts but rather something that many of our parents, our grandparents and generations before did.
