Its been ages since I last tasted Crabtree & Evelyn's jams and fruit preserves. Yesterday their nearest store advised me to try again today, and lucky me, they had a few jars of strawberry and blueberry jams. So here I am with those jams, English tea and a bunch of orange cookies and stem ginger biscuits. Bye-bye budget, hello afternoon tea!

    I was able to buy a couple of jam jars from Masferré's Inn and Restaurant :-)

    what is left in my ref now is just the mulberry one :-(
    I liked their orange and blueberry..but I didn't buy the strawberry anymore (I'm more for getting those not readily available...e strawberry meron sa Baguio hehehe)

    I prefer jams to not be so sweet...which was the only other concern I had with the ones I bought...but I guess more sugar is a way to preserve it for much longer.

    he's still there, you hardly see him go around though....sayang galing niya, he seems content baking bread for different eateries in town.
