Now that the lockdown restrictions are easing and we’re allowed to gather in small groups in gardens or public parks, many people are looking forward to hosting a socially distances soiree of their own.

While it may seem like a bit of a logistical nightmare, we have some tips to help your garden party run smoothly and safely.
July is one of the most fruitful (pardon the pun) times of the year for British growers, with a large range of delicious crops ready for picking.

As always, we’ve got some preserving, pickling and producing ideas to help you make the most of this season’s crops.
With harvest season just starting off, those with a penchant for preserving are readying their jam pans and stocking up on sugar, ready to turn this year’s fruits into flavoursome spreads! Whether you’re making traditional flavours like strawberry and raspberry or being more adventurous with obscure flavours like rhubarb and ginger, our glass jars with lids come in a range of shapes, sizes and styles to compliment your flavour creations.
