Great Taste Judges Review
Here’s what they had to say about this amazing hedgerow jelly:
“This product has a beautiful colour and with a lovely jelly tremble… Great taste.”
“This is a beautiful, glistening bright-ruby colour. The jelly has a soft set. When tasting it, we initially got a big hit of vanilla notes after which it becomes a little tannic, as one would expect of sloes. A very well-made, well-balanced, simple product.”
“The flavour is delicious, with an excellent balance of the four simple ingredients. It’s clear the maker is not afraid of the unique astringency of the sloes and have added just enough sugar, but no more. The quantities of pectin from the apple, and the perfect degree of dilution create a lovely mouthfeel and made this a delight to eat. We could imagine this being used in any number of sweet or savoury dishes.”
“Attractively presented, this jelly has an inviting rich blackcurrant colour. It has a pleasant soft set that melts in the mouth. It is a taste sensation, reminiscent of the hedgerows, with the flavour of all the ingredients coming through. The authentic dryness of the sloes contrasts well with the sweetness of the apples.”
“We were extremely enthusiastic about this silky jelly, which transports us to the Welsh hedgerows. It’s a unique product and would be ideal for a Welsh afternoon tea.”
“What a magnificent colour to this very fruity jelly. The flavour of sloes hits us in the face with its tell-tale plummy and astringent notes. We praised the clever use of apples to give it a good foundation.”
