Specialties	"An elegant organic one-pound fruit cake, perfumed with port and brandy." The New York Times

 

Christmas Cake Christmas cakes have a long historical tradition in England, as it's the celebratory cake that was eaten around the holidays in the depths of winter. The depth of the ingredients, most of them expensive and imported from around the world, signified the wealth of the giver, who shared the cake with family and community, establishing a cultural bond and connection. In the winter months we candy numerous types of citrus peels, and as in the past, post grape season, we dry several varieties of fresh grapes to make the raisins. These are combined with different stone fruits and all are macerated and plumped up in an aged port from Prager Winery & Port Works. Almonds, spices, brandy and cake ingredients are then mixed in and baked into a fruit laden, richly flavored fruitcake. The cakes are washed in a vintage plum brandy from St George Spirits before being wrapped in cheesecloth. June paints the outer wraps in green and red before a letterpress design is printed on it. We proudly collaborate with local family farmers who provide us with the highest quality ingredients for our cakes.                 Christmas cake was once eaten with meats and cheeses and today we also recommend it with tea or a glass of port or sherry. To serve, please refrigerate until completely cold, and with a sharp knife slice thinly before returning to room temperature to serve.           Extremely limited availability.

Pastilles are traditional, old fashioned sweets of pureed fruits cooked into a solid and sliceable consistency. Enjoy with tea, cheeses and meats.

These candies can also be chopped and added to cookie, cake, scone or muffin dough or swirled into ice cream and yoghurt. They are a luscious topping for oatmeal, granola or rice pudding and can offer a zesty accent to vinaigrettes or tagines.       June & Martha make candied peel                                                   2 oz tins               Floral & Herbal Candied Citrus Peel               Bergamot & Provençal Lavender     Lime & Rosemary     Lisbon Lemon & Rose Geranium     Meyer Lemon & Rose Geranium     Satsuma Orange & Rose Geranium Tangelo Orange & Bay Laurel Tangelo Orange & Rose Valencia Orange & Rosemary White Grapefruit & Rose Geranium Yuzu & Bay Laurel   2 oz  $12    Candied Citrus Peel   Blood Orange     Clementine     Meyer Lemon     Seville Orange   Star Ruby Grapefruit   Sudachi Lemon   Valencia Orange   White Grapefruit   Yuzu     2 oz  $12                       Citrus, Flower & Herb Sugars Our flavored sugars are delightful and simple ways to elevate your cocktail or spritzer drinks by using them to rim the glass.
