Christmas is coming and the goose is getting scared!

What's new in the Land of Relish - well we have been supremely busy with Christmas orders flooding in and making connections. Mark and I travelled to Russia earlier this year to meet potential customers at the British Embassy in St.Petersburg despite being -26 degrees we had a very warm welcome and have just sent our first (we hope) of many orders to them so watch out if you are in St.Petersburg Relish is coming your way.

Along with forging new paths we have been creating some fabulous new products, joining forces with the lovely folk at Anglesey Sea Salt (Halen Mon ) and have made the most divine Salted Caramel Sauce. Using our local Damsons we have created a wonderfully fruity Damson Ketchup which is perfect to have with game, roast chicken or turkey, rich and fruity it is pefect for Autumn and Winter. Then we have re-named our Indian Capsicum Pickle, customers told us that they always assumed it woudl be red hot and firey and it isn't so it is now called, Mild Indian Sweet Pepper Pickle which is exactly what it says on the tin ( well jar!), and so if you haven't tried it before becasue you assumed it would blow your head off then get stuck in now !

We have aquired a new puppy in the Relish household, named Missy (the last one was Pickle!) she is a lovely sweet natured Jack Russell and has taken the kitchen dustpan as her preferred home ! oh dear....

Katie - sales and media guru from our office joined up with our youngest daughter Izzy to spend a day at the opening for a new Dobbies Garden Centre near Carlisle and were thrilled to meet up with their hero " Bob the Builder " who Raved about Relish all afternoon.

Mark and I were competely bowled over to receive joint MBE's at the Queen's birthday Honours and we have just received the dates to attend the Palace, so watch this space for pictures in December after we have been - just practising the curtsy right now !
