Preserves & Pantry · Audlem

Priya grows most of what she preserves on three acres of heavy Cheshire clay just outside Audlem, where a polytunnel, a veg plot and six beehives keep the kitchen busy from June to October. The chutney method comes from her grandmother in Leicester — whole spices toasted in the pan before anything else goes in — applied to whatever the plot produces in glut. Everything is jarred the day it's cooked, then rested in the pantry until it's ready to sell.
