Red Currant & Lavender Jelly for the Easter Lamb

At Nashtown Castle our preserves, jellies and pickles are made seasonally with local seasonal produce where possible. They are home grown and home made. Here is our list of the preserves that are currently available.
Nashtown Castle Red Currant & Lavender Jelly for Easter

  • Apple Jelly - made with apples from an old traditional Kilkenny orchard
  • Apple & Lavender Jelly - made with our homegrown lavender
  • Bitter Orange Marmalade - this is our only preserve that has no locally grown ingredients
  • Cucumber Pickle - made with three varieties of cucumber, grown in our garden
  • Gooseberry & Apple Jelly - has a subtle gooseberry flavour
  • Pickled Red Cabbage - robust old fashioned pickle, made with our own red cabbage
  • Pumpkin, Ginger & Orange Marmalade - more like a relish, delicious with cold meat
  • Spicy Pumpkin Chutney - perfect with cold beef and a baked potato
  • Red Currant and Lavender Jelly - to be eaten with the Easter roast lamb. Fresh mint will be difficult to find as Easter is so early this year, so here is a great alternative
