De Thee Tuin (Tea Garden)

I have many very talented clients that I cat-sit for on a regular basis. One is Trudy.

Trudy has a home-based business and she is a baker and preserver extraordinaire.

One of her preserves she makes from her own orange trees that decorate her home.

I was gifted with a jar at Christmas and, after tasting the product, promptly dropped by to purchase more.

Love the jars

She said..."so you like this, do you?" I said..." Trudy, it's so good it's ridiculous." That made her laugh.

She bakes the most decadent breads and desserts. Her jams, jellies and spreads... wonderful.

I purchased four jars knowing that I can either gift them or just work my way through them myself.

I doubt that would take very long. ;-b

My kitchen shelves

She added a sample of her red currant jelly to my bag. She's the best.

Her company is called De Thee Tuin  (meaning Tea Garden)- unusual delight for the epicurious.

If and when Trudy builds a website I will pass it on.

Audrey is trying her best to look normal here.

Even then, I told her she looks 'pouty'.

"How come I don't get to taste marmalade?"

"Oh goodness, Audrey. That's all you need is sugar".

hugs, Deb
