MITCH'S PRESERVES - Apple Spice Jelly

A Jar of Christmas Ready Whenever You Need It

Cinnamon and cardamom hit first, allspice and star anise settle in through the middle, and it finishes warm and mulled — like someone bottled the good bit of the festive season and left out the tinsel.

Perfect on: Warm this through as a glaze for roast pork (brush it on in the last twenty minutes and watch the skin go glossy), or spoon it cold onto sourdough toast with a slab of cheddar. It also holds its own next to a ham on the Boxing Day table.

In the jar: A deep amber jelly, clear and firm-set, with visible flecks of star anise suspended through it. Sweet with a warm spiced backbone — no heat, all comfort.

Sourced and jarred by a family-run preserve maker in Warrnambool, Victoria — the kind of small-batch cooking The Rub Hub goes looking for. [LINK: /collections/mitchs-preserves]
