THE PICKERS

🍓🌿 Rescued Rhubarb Meets Elderflower – A Perfect Pairing! 🌿🍓

I love experimenting with flavors, especially when it comes to repurposing rescued rhubarb! One of my favorite discoveries (though I probably can’t take credit for it) is how beautifully rhubarb and elderflower cordial come together in preserves.

It’s so simple — just adjust the ratios of rhubarb, elderflower cordial, and sugar to your taste. Cook it down, testing as you go. You’ll know it’s ready when you run your finger along the back of cooking spoon and the mixture stays separated on both sides.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! 🌱✨

Finally — we would love you to help us grow our new Facebook page at www.facebook.com...

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
