Mrs Darlington’s Real Ale Chutney

Mrs Darlington’s Real Ale Chutney Description:

Mrs Darlington’s Real Ale Chutney. Made with Love by: Darlington & Daughters, Lancaster Flied. Over 30 years ago, a surplus of our farm gave me the idea to make a batch of my Lemon Curd to sell locally. It flew off the shelves: so I drafted  in local ladies to help me make my other family recipes too. We’ve grown a great since then, but bringing you delicious tasing products is what my daughter and I remain  passionate about. Thank you for choosing to buy from my range of Jams, Curds, Chutneys, Pickles & Ketchup.
