These amazing preserves are made in the north of Tasmania by Kate Smith Just Add Moonshine (JAM) from roadside fruit, excess produce from farms and the bounty of friends gardens. Kate is a writer and the names for her products are evocative and sometimes tongue in cheek. Her creativity spills over into the combination of tastes she magically combines, inspired by her walks with her familiar Mr Kipper.

Kate’s cordials are amazing! Some ‘artisan’ cordials I’ve tried taste like watered down jam but not Kate’s! Small batch and grab’em quick! Dark Lady (Shakespeare reference there) is made from Evandale elderberries , pears, peppercorns and clove. Mix with cold (or even hot) water, fizzy water or spike with gin or vodka…. maybe even drizzle over a really good vanilla ice cream….

Ingredients: blackcurrants from Riverview @ Evandale, valencia oranges, water, sugar, citric acid, star anise, pepper

500ml

Keep refrigerated after opening.
