Strawberry-liscious!

Posted by Meg

Last week we went to Norfolk to help with the harvest of the organic strawberries destined for our organic strawberry preserve. It was a perfect English summer's day and the fields were full of the brightly jewelled Florence strawberries, known for their rich scent and bright velvety red flesh.

We were kept busy and this picture shows Kirsty, a member of our marketing team, getting stuck in. Once the harvest of the strawberries is completed they will be taken to Somerset where they'll be gently cooked by hand to preserve their sweet juicy flavour and texture. The jam made from the strawberries we picked will be available in Waitrose from October and will I'm sure, laden on warm buttery crumpets, bring back a taste of our English summer.
