Christmas is a time of tradition, some universal, some more personal. One of my personal traditions is that every December, I buy copious jars of chutneys, mustards and relishes, ‘just in case’. I then spend the following three months using up the said jars.

Well, no more, Tracklements have come up with the clever idea of a 9 jar mini pack, which this year will adorn my table over the Christmas period. Each jar is 25g, vegetarian and gluten free.

There’s something to please everyone here: Country Garden Chutney, Sticky Fig Relish, Caramelised Onion Marmalade, Robust Wholegrain Mustard, Fresh Chilli Jam, Tomato & Chilli Chutney, Sweet Mustard Ketchup, Apple & Sage Jelly, Spiced Honey Mustard. I have yet to try any of the Tracklements’ range that failed to delight but the Apple and Sage and Sweet Mustard Ketchup were personal favourites at this tasting. Fresh tasting, and with just the right degree of kick, I am a firm fan.

My other personal tradition is trying to find a gift for the office Secret Santa costing under £10.00. This usually ends with me going over the set limit, or buying something that one knows is destined for the Charity Shop in January. However, this pack of tasty treats is only £9. 50 and not only tastes fantastic but it is presented attractively.

A Christmas tradition handed down to me from my mother, is to always have a couple of small gifts ready wrapped. These were to be deployed should some unexpected guest arrive bearing a Christmas gift. Mother could go into the other room with said wrapped gift without pause. These 9 jar mini packs will be ideal for such purpose, and should they not be needed, can be used to brighten a whole host of meals throughout the bleakest of mid- winters.
