January & February Marmalade season
It's Seville orange season. January & February Wilde Chutney's kitchen is filled with these organic beauties from the organic orange groves of Ave Maria Seville.
In our family, tradition dictates that we make our year's supply of marmalade. My sisters & brothers still make marmalade according to our mothers recipe with phrases as five pints of water and not a drop less, rolling boil and sugar must be absolutely heated ingrained in our memories. We all, in our grown up separate lives, hark and hunker back to our youth and the days of our mothers warmth, work and fresh toast dripping with her marmalade. Sun in the depth of winter.

Climate change
We all are aware that climate change is as dramatic and huge as it is complex. Finding solutions to this crises can be overwhelming. Wilde Chutney as a company tries in its own way to minimize the impact on the environment. Nothing is perfect and there is always room for improvement. That is why Urgenda is an organisation that is close to Wilde Chutney's heart. Thinking of solutions and working together. One of their projects that Wilde Chutney supports is stichting behoud en beheer Broekhuizerlaan.
