Veg box customers will have noticed there were no newsletters in the boxes for the past couple of weeks as Matt has been off on Holiday.  But Jan has stepped in with a cracking seasonal recipe for Hot Plum Sauce.

"Thoroughly recommended," says Lisa - shes tried it too.  The English plum season is in full swing - we have beautiful Marjorie's Seedlings in the shop this weekend £2.50/kg.  UK Plums
