No more wasted plums.

“The Great Waiheke Plum Drive” will happen on Thursday January 7th, at the Palm Beach Hall from 9am – 5pm.

The kitchen’s been hired, and preserve makers on the island are offering their help and knowledge. Now we need jam jars, and fruit. We will collect the jars and the fruit on the day (or you can bring them on the day).

The plan is to involve as many people as possible, each one contributing a little and receiving something in return. If you have jars or some fruit, we will trade you for jam. Here’s the plan. Contact and let us know if you have jars, or know of a plum tree that will be fruiting around the first week of January, and we’ll make arrangements to collect the jars and the fruit on the day of the big cookup.

We have hired the Palm Beach Hall for the event (9am – 5pm). There will be a team of local cooks and organisers leading the day, and we welcome lots of helpers and learners. Let us know if you would like to come along and offer skills or come and learn some new ones. The main part of the hall will be setup with tables and chopping boards, and there’ll be lots of fruit to process. Imagine the smells as we cookup Grandma’s favourite chutney recipe – yummm!

Jams and chutneys will be available at Ostend market, farmers markets, and island shops.

Clean jars, with lids, can be left at The Red Cross or the SPCA and we will pick them up from there.
