From Orchard to Home : publicity brochure issued by Chivers & Sons Ltd., Histon, Cambridgeshire, UK : 1921 : Chivers' English Fruits in syrup
A charming little colour booklet issued by the famous jam, jelly and fruit canners of Chivers from their Orchard Factory at Histon, near Cambridge. The booklet contains details of the company, the products and recipes that they can be used in. Many of the plates are reproductions of colour advertisments commissioned over the years by Chivers, several from well known artists and illustrators.
Canned fruit, in the days before widespread freezing or importation of seasonal fruits, was an important staple of many kitchens and pantries. Chivers had an extensive range of such products as seen here with their Victoria Plums in syrup. The company had their own can manufacturing and canning plants at Histon and the range included raspberries, strawberries, greengages, golden plums, Victoria Plums and damsons. The recipes include one for Savoy Pudding.
