Walbrook & Avon - Sunday 14th February

Walbrook & Avon popped-up again on Sunday with 32 guests enjoying five courses, lots of wine and great music. We can safely say it was another success with everyone leaving in good cheer with lots of nice things to say about the food and festivities.

We would like to thank everyone who was at Walbrook & Avon on Sunday. It was a pleasure to cook for you all. We would also like to give very special thanks to our glamorous assistants who worked very hard and helped create a great atmosphere; Lucy who is responsible for all our wonderful graphic design and is also our ever-calm and graceful waitress. Jake (The Otley Express) who is responsible for the great music, steady wine-pouring and cheery hard work. And Beth and Cat who washed up and cleared tables and generally got stuck into any work that needed doing with broad smiles and a sense of humour. Thank you all.

We are currently working on the details of the next Walbrook & Avon event and we will release the date and ticket information at the beginning of March. Hopefully, we will see lots more new faces at the next Walbrook & Avon.

Walbrook & Avon Chilli Jam Recipe

We spent this afternoon making savoury chilli jam for next week's pop-up. We've made a dozen or so jars of wonderfully dark, mildly spiced chilli jam that we will serve next week and also have for sale. If you are not lucky enough to be dining with us next week here is how you can make your own.

Ingredients

250g red peppers, deseeded and roughly chopped A good handful of bird's eye chillies, deseeded and chopped

1kg jam sugar

600ml cider vinegar

4 x 250ml sealable jars

Makes about a litre

1. Without stirring, dissolve the sugar in the vinegar over a low heat
2. Deseed and chop the red peppers and chillies
3. Blitz the peppers and chillies in a food processor
4. Once the sugar has dissolved add the chilli and pepper mix to the sugar and vinegar and bring to the boil
5. Let it simmer for about an hour or so
6. It is done when a spoonful on to a plate stays fairly still when the plate is tilted
7. Pour into sterilised jars and firmly tighten to lids
8. Enjoy with cheese, salads, salami, ham, cold meats and more

It will last a couple of months, although in our experience you will not be able to resist it's charms for that long.
