Jammy pensioner Christine Munroe has hit retail gold after re-discovering a jam recipe which has been passed down through her family - for over 100 years. Christine, 72, had learnt how to make preserves as a little girl from her late mother Dorothy who in turn learnt the art through her grandmother Ellen in the
1920s who in turn learnt her craft through her ancestors. But after Dorothy died in 1978, aged 68, Christine she did not realise the full potential of her old homemade jams, marmalades, mustards and chutneys and
carried on her job as a PA for chemical giants ICI instead. It was only after Christine took up jam making again in her retirement that her recipe was noted at a farmers market and the National Trust asked if it could sell her good nationwide. Now she has won a striong of awards with culinary experts at UK Trade
Asociation the Guild of Fine Foods has given her 'Christine's' chilli jam and ginger marmalade with root ginger a "faultless" rating, with two gold stars each, and her lemon marmalade got its own gold star. The story featured in te Daily Mail and Christine spoke to Cavendish Press.
