Lime Marmalade by Mrs Oldbucks Pantry

Berrima Southern Highlands NEW SOUTH WALES

The quaint town of Berrima is always worth a visit when you brave the cold of the Southern Highlands or travel on to Canberra. There is a collection of quaint shops including antiques, giftware and yes.. a shop jam- packed with just that!! Jams and preserves, teas and collectibles that would keep you busy rummaging for hours.

The friendly staff helped me choose some teas as well as a marmalade to take back home.

I have had it in my head to cook a big bread and butter pudding for our next family gathering and lace it with marmalade. So after tossing up between the fourteen marmalades available I chose lime as I thought it would accompany the dried dates which one of the daughters loves.

The good news is you don't have to travel to Berrima to stock up as they have an online shop or mail order service. They pack everything well and add a stylish touch! Great gift idea, consummables as yummy as these will always be popular.
