As to be expected from Tracklements, they’ve already started work on imaginative Christmas flavours, and let’s just say that you won’t be disappointed. Here at Frost we absolutely adore Tracklements – a Wiltshire-based family company who are simply a beacon for good food. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating – they create quality food, by hand in small batches, using natural ingredients, mainly sourced from English farms and small businesses, and they’re tirelessly thinking outside the box, creating new, innovative recipes, to highlight the amazing potential of proper honest food.
If you’re looking for a present that will definitely be appreciated, check out their new Christmas Gift Packs. I love their Jolliest Festive Favourites with three mini jars, including:
Christmas Spice Chutney (90g jar): with Bramley Apples and Cranberries making up 40%, plus Ginger, Allspice, Nutmeg, Cinnamon to create that quintessential Christmas flavour, this will lift your cheese board to a new level.
Cranberry, Port & Orange Sauce (110g jar): made with whole cranberries, lemon and orange juices plus orange zest, not to mention cider vinegar and of course port, this really does that turkey justice. It will spoil you for any other cranberry sauce.
And finally:
Sticky Fig Relish (110g jar) – my favourite. Made by soaking plump figs in spiced vinegar before gently cooking them with rich, dark sugar – I can vouch that it is delicious. It’s recommended to accompany soft cheeses – I totally agree (although a generous teaspoon straight out of the jar has been known – just saying).
NEW Tracklements Jolliest Festive Favourites – RRP £11.40, Vegan & Gluten Free, is available from fine food delis and farm shops nationwide, in selected Fenwick and Waitrose stores, and online at www.tracklements.co.uk
Grab them quickly – these will fly off the shelves and your friends deserve such a great gift (in fact, so do you).
