13 TIPS FOR PRESERVING Please read the following advice given by our WI judge before making and presenting your preserves. LIDS - do not reuse lids, they absorb smells and colour from the original preserve. Use waxed discs and cellophane for jams, jellies and marmalade and new, plastic lined, metal lids for chutneys to give a good seal. It is not necessary to use waxed discs and/or cellophane in addition to a metal lid. Fabric covers make a pretty addition. LABELS - always label the jars with the full date to include, day, month and year. Unusual chutneys/jams should have a list of ingredients on a 2nd label on the back of the jar. Please state if it has a fiery kick. FLAVOURS - choose ingredients to compliment each other with no single ingredient dominant. Chutney/vinegar preserves should be left 2-3 months for the flavours to develop but if kept for more than 12 months it will dry out, separate and taste unpleasant. TEXTURE - the fruit in marmalade must be softened before the sugar is added. Tough fruit and seeds can detract from the final product. APPEARANCE - Fruits should be evenly distributed, allow the mixture to cool slightly before bottling to prevent it rising to the top. FRUIT CURD should have a breathable lid like a waxed disc and cellophane NOT metal. It should be kept in the fridge and made within 3 weeks of the Show. Trophies will be presented at 4.00pm 12

15 TIPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHY Our Photographic judge from the North Cheshire Photographic Group would like to share a few tips when taking photographs for competitions. Keep it simple. Competition winners are frequently very simple photographs. Get down low and shoot from the eye line of your subject. Avoid cluttered backgrounds especially those with bright highlights. Take care with composition and be sure there is a point of focus in your image. If you re shooting landscapes do it within an hour of sunrise/sunset. With portraits, engage with your subject and get good eye contact. Good post processing in the computer is as important as taking the photograph. A good photograph is one that produces an emotional response in the viewer. Never go out without a camera your best shot may be today. You are producing art - don t expect everyone to enjoy your work! Trophies will be presented at 4.00pm 14

When fermentation has finished rack off into a clean demijohn and add the 2nd crushed Campden tablet.
