Tasty treats for all seasons from the garden with Theresa Storey

Theresa Storey is the quintessential woman for all seasons — all year round, she celebrates the time of year by turning the in-season fruit and vegetables from her farm in Co Limerick into chutneys, jams, jellies, ketchups, sauces and mustards.

“Such a bounty,” she says, adding that you don’t have to live on a farm — or even have a garden — to enjoy the rich pickings that are there for the taking in Ireland’s fields and hedgerows.

That’s one of the reasons the woman behind the award-winning preserve company Green Apron has written Fruit on the Table, a sumptuous, recipe-filled book — she wants to encourage people to grow their own fruit or, at least, to keep an eye out for what’s in season.
