While up north we went to Lindisfarne, and I picked up a lovely souvenir for me - Marmalade infused with mead! We sampled the mead itself in the shop and it was too much, but as a blend it'll be ok - surely.
It's made on the mainland, but uses mead from St. Aidan's Winery - and then you buy it from the shop next to the winery so I guess that's OK. Mead is an alcoholic beverage made from fermenting honey and is one of the oldest known alcoholic beverages - hurrah!
As you'd expect - it's basically sugar and water, but with 23% fruit & mead this should have a potent flavour.
Consequently I put so little on the first time!
But actually - it's pretty mild. Nothing like the mead itself which was very medicinal, this is a lovely fruity blend that works well as a light snack or as morning toast (with a more generous helping)
Yum! Wonder if this is available more easily in the midlands?
