apple rosemary jelly 80g
ugly duck preserves
Did you know an estimated 20–40% of fruit and vegetables are rejected from the shops just because they don’t meet our high cosmetic standards? Michelle Mascher of Brisbane is the heart and soul behind Ugly Duck Preserves, combining her great love for growing and preserving food and her strong belief that food should not be wasted. She works in small batches with seasonal produce that she collects personally from the surplus of farms and private gardens as well as rescuing fresh fruit and vegetables that were rejected by shops and supermarket chains. Her ethos is that the taste and freshness of the ingredients are the only qualities that matter, odd shapes and sizes don’t and whenever she heads into the kitchen, the seasons' surplus produce determines the recipes. This Apple Rosemary Jelly is one of their best sellers, not only because it’s a taste sensation but it is also made from fresh spray-free Rosemary from Michelle’s own garden. This particular batch was made with rescued apples from an abandoned orchard near Stanthorpe. Naturally the apples were wax free and chemical free. This jelly goes best with a hard cheese like cheddar and can also be used as a glaze or sauce for lamb or ham. Or try stirring into a warm bowl of breakfast porridge. YUM! where to reorder www.uglyduckpreserves.com/stockists/ ingredients apple (55.5%), sugar, lemon juice, rosemary. Gluten Free

dough nuggets 80g
chittiles
Such an inspired treat, who doesn’t love a crunchy little cinnamon snack with their morning coffee! Nom nom nom... Every family has something that they cherish, and for family business Chittiles P/L, it was the recipe for a beloved, homemade snack they call Dough Nuggets. Having enjoyed these crunchy, bite-sized delights for years, it became clear that friends and acquaintances enjoyed them too. They just couldn’t get enough! This inspired the founding of Chittiles in Sydney in 2015 as a company committed to sharing the goodness of Dough Nuggets – and a host of new snack food products – with food lovers everywhere. As we all know, the doughnut has seen quite the resurgence in the last couple of years and a serious injection of edible drama. With doughnut bar ‘hole in the wall’s’ popping up all over Australia and oozy, glossy, colourful additions both inside and out of the once humble sweet treat, it’s nice to go back to basics. It’s not that we don’t love a great caramel-filled syringe every once in a while, it’s just that the cinnamon dough nugget is such a classic. Thank you Chittiles, for bringing us back to basics. where to reorder www.chittiles.com ingredients wheat flour, sugar, free range eggs, olive oil, butter, water, full cream milk, baking powder, cinnamon, salt.
Burgundee Creaming Soda 375ml
bundaberg brewed drinks
Crafted to an authentic recipe, this red berry brew is one of a kind. It’s the Creaming Soda of days gone by, delicious, fruity and refreshing. We work hard to sniff out new flavours and products to the market, so this may seem like an odd choice. So let us explain: Bundaberg Brewed Drinks is a proud family owned business, based in the small town that shares it’s name, Bundaberg. The Flemings family founded the brewery and still run it to this day. For an Aussie Family to produce tasty soft drinks that are often found in the same fridge as the ‘other guys’ (you know who we’re talking about), we think that’s pretty impressive. So, by featuring some of their ‘lesser known’ flavours, we figure it’s a great way to introduce you to new flavours, while giving them a pat on the back. There’s a little secret to unlocking the big flavour in every, single Bundaberg brew. It’s as simple as inverting the bottle for a few seconds before you pop the top, so the real ingredients are released through the drink. Hold it up to the light and you can see the delicious cloud stirring to life. where to find a brew www.bundaberg.com/product-locator/ ingredients carbonated water, cane sugar, red grape juice from concentrate (5%), red grape brew (water, red grape juice from concentrate, cane sugar, yeast), flavours, acid (citric acid), colours (150d, 122, 102, 133), preservatives (211, 202).
