Ever since the Sligo Rovers Season ended (Brilliant season for the Team and the Cafe!),  I've pretty much hung up the Cafe's boots for the Winter. I'm currently on maternity leave and while I've been waiting for the baby to arrive,  I've been making preserves and doing a lot of baking. The Three Fruit Marmalade above was my first batch of preserves.

I also made Spiced Apple Chutney and Cranberry and Apple Jam. which led me on to making Christmas Hampers.
Above is the final product. The Hampers include Three Fruit Marmalade, Spiced Apple Chutney, Cranberry and Apple Jam, Mini Chocolate Brownies, Ballymaloe Fudge, Christmas Tree Ginger Bread Cookies, Monster Cafe Coffee Beans.
Apart from the Coffee Beans, all the items are home made by me.

Above is the finished product, all Hampers have been sold, which is great.
I plan on making Hampers for different occassions. I will up date my web site shortly with details.

The Monster Cafe Van will be back in Business from the start of April 2011. Made to order Hampers will be available from January 2011.
