Suffragist Jam-boree

Suffragist Jam-boree

In honour of the centenary of women being able to vote, we are holding a “jam sale” where home-made jams, chutneys, marmalades and similar delectables will be available for a donation. 

In the C19th, women wrote recipe books liberally sprinkled with propaganda for their Cause and raised money for charities through the sale of jams and preserves. 

We are calling on all you jam-makers out there to contribute! Bring your recipes for swapping, too. Half of all proceeds will be given to The Pink Ribbon Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
