Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Rose harissa chilli sauce - a real 'knock your socks off' chilli sauce with plenty of flavour - influenced by the traditional North African harissa sauce. Great for marinades, as a dipping sauce or just serving as a condiment with your food.
I always thought roses were just a pretty flower until I met the Rosa rugosa 'Hansa.' Its blooms can be used for many things, including infusing a brandy concoction that mixes beautifully with sparkling wine.
Homemade vinegar may seem daunting but all you need is some wine, something wild to infuse it, such as wild rose hips, a dark cupboard and a good mother.

What grows together, goes together! This is a sweetheart preserve: bright pink rhubarb, fragrant rose petals and heady strawberry liqueur join forces to make the ultimate early summer preserve.
