Luxury quality that is big on taste and low on price.
From the moment I opened all three jars, I smelt luxury and indulgence. I tried each of them on their own, added to a glass of fizz, and even with a cheese board. WOW! My taste buds were having a party.
Whether you are entertaining or just want to treat yourself, these will give you warmth, luxury and an explosion of flavour. They all worked amazingly well. I enjoyed them on their own, with a dessert, in a glass of bubbles, and best of all, with a cheeseboard. OMG! If you love a cheeseboard, you need these.
Each fruit contains a percentage of alcohol, which works really well in all three. The flavours are divine; noticeable without being overpowering or too pungent.
GOOD TO KNOW – Gluten Free, Dairy Free
Make the most of the syrup – turn it into boozy ice cubes, grown-up jellies, or a savoury glaze for meats.
When I saw this, I was excited to try a couple of the suggestions. They worked exceptionally well as ice cubes and as a glaze on some chicken. Genius!
There are so many other ways to use these fruits. I have put a link below for you to get some ideas: www.bennettopie.com/blogs/recipes
When is a good time to eat these delightful jars of fruit? Anytime- and you will certainly enjoy them. Dare I say it… with Christmas round the corner, they make the perfect addition to any festive celebration. Stuck for a Christmas present? They are the perfect gift for anyone, not just for Christmas but at any time of year. At only £6.75 each, they are small in price but big in taste!
