The Great Lee St Fete

Fete 2024 Preparations

Jams and preserves stall

With the long summer break ahead, and cheap fruit and vegetables all around, NOW is the time to start making your preserved goodies for The Great Lee Street Fete. It is also the perfect time to gather up those empty jars (with lids) and bring them in to the school foyer for others to collect and fill. Small and medium sized jars are best.

Remember:

• Jamming and preserving is easy. If you are unsure of what to make send us an email and we will send you some suggestions and recipes. Last year we had requests for more chilli items, more relishes, chutneys & pickles, in addition to the classic fruit jams.
• We are always happy to receive yummy goodies that we haven't seen before, so be creative, make what you love, put it in a jar and we will sell it.
• Please bring your goodies in to the school office a week or two before fete day, and we will make special Lee Street labels and fabric tops for them. Please email us to let us know when you have delivered your items and identify them on the delivery box/bag.
• We also need contact details and ingredients from all donors, so please email us and include the number of jars for each item that you have made. Your details will not be published.
• Please ensure your produce is well sealed and won't expire before the fete and remember to sterilize your jars.

We have also started collecting 400ml jars. Please make sure they are clean and bonus points for removing the labels.  Drop them off in the box at the office.
