Ascott September Newsletter

Welcome to our September Newsletter September 2012 Don't forget our 8 special offers for September... Follow us on Twitter Like us on Facebook Autumn is now upon us and most of the harvest here in the West Country is just about finished. Everyone should be busy making jam and chutney; and if you are lucky this year there are a few apples to be harvested to be made into juice and cider. As you know we had a stand at the Frome Agricultural and Cheese Show this month (see picture below). We had a lovely day meeting some regular customers and some new ones too. Thank you to all those customers who supported us on the day. If you have never been to the show it’s definitely worth a visit next year. At the end of this month we will be travelling to Scotland for the NEW Scottish Smallholders and Growers Show. This is being held at Forfar Market in Angus on Sunday 30th September. We have lots of customers in Scotland and the Highlands and very much look forward to meeting some of them. This month we are including an easy recipe for Ricotta Cheese, perfect to have with some of the chutney you are hopefully making! Kind Regards Mark and Kate How to make simple Ricotta Cheese You will need: 3 ltrs milk 150ml lemon juice 115ml ricotta basket mould Muslin square (For best results use unhomogenised milk. If you can’t find any just add 375ml of double cream to 2.265ltrs of skimmed milk. This will give you the 3ltrs of milk required for this recipe). Place the milk into a large pan and put over a medium heat.  Using a digital thermometer increase the heat of the milk to 90 degrees centigrade and then remove from the heat. Add the lemon juice and stir gently as the curds form and leave them to sit in their whey for 30 minutes. Ladle the curds into a colander lined with muslin and leave to drain for 2 – 3 hours.  Transfer the drained curds, still in the muslin, to a basket mould and leave to set for another 4 hours. This cheese will last for up to 3 days if kept in an air tight container in the fridge.   New Products Fruit Press Kit with 4lt Press Everything you need to make apple juice or cider Kit Includes 1 X 4lt Spindle fruit Press 1 X 4lt Press Filter Bag 1 X Real Cider Making Book 1 X Cider Yeast 5g 1 X Campden Tablets (x100) 6 X 2.5lt Plastic Containers Click here for more....
