Homemade Goodness for a Good Cause
I’d love to shine a light on the incredible jams, jellies, and chutneys lovingly crafted by my friends at Methodist Chapel,Kingsland Lesley Pitchford and Rebecca Snelling . These lovely ladies volunteer their time, energy, and culinary talents to transform donated or locally sourced fruit and veg into truly delicious preserves — all homemade and high quality.
🍓 From classic jams to inventive chutneys, there’s a huge variety available at their Jam Shack just outside the Chapel in Kingsland. If you’re passing by, feel free to browse — or explore the full selection inside during one of the many regular clubs and hobby groups (including our weekly yoga classes on Monday evenings and Tuesday mornings 😇).
💛 Every donation goes directly toward the upkeep of this charismatic community hub — a place that brings people together in so many meaningful ways.
A special thank you to John Middleton for his latest generous gift of homegrown quince! (A little birdie tells me it’s destined to become a batch of quince jam and chutney… and John, there’ll be a jar with your name on it.)
🍏 If you happen to have an abundance of fruit or veg you’re not sure what to do with, please consider donating. It’s a great way to support the community — and nothing goes to waste.
