WATERHOUSE FAYRE EXMOOR POND WEED CHUTNEY

£3.75 from waterhousefayre.co.uk Despite the name, this Taste of the West gold award-winning chutney isn’t actually made from pond weed! Instead, it’s created with homegrown green tomatoes, apples, onion with just a touch of fresh garlic and ginger and more than a touch of green chillies. Yum!
