Tasty times in the works

A MUST for any trip to the Granite Belt is a stop-in at Jamworks Gourmet Foods, just south of Stanthorpe at Glen Aplin.
In April the popular foodie magnet moved out of a lovingly-restored former school building into a custom built cafe and larder heaven on site at the corner of Townsend Road and the New England Highway.
Jamworks specialises in an extensive range of home-style and home-made premium quality jams and preserves using locally-grown produce wherever possible.
Its products range from berry and fruit jams, marmalades, butter and jellies to pickles, relishes, chutneys, glazes, pastes and sauces, with almost every conceivable variation on those themes.
A Jamworks gift pack incorporating a selection of mouth-watering offerings would make a very well-received Christmas or birthday gift for any foodie.
Gift packs such as the Ultimate Cheese Lovers include selections such as fig, date and hazlenut paste, quince paste, apple and walnut paste and rhubarb and macadamia paste.
Visitors can enjoy an all-day lunch menu showcasing Jamworks gourmet products or treat themselves to its famous hot jam donut or Devonshire teas, along with browsing the lines of unique and personalised gifts.
Corporate gourmet gift hampers are also available and mail orders are also welcome.
There is ample parking for large vehicles such as coaches and caravans.
Co-owner Stephanie Ingall said the business had been fortunate to receive strong local support as well as visitors to the Granite Belt.
“We are very proud of our new premises and we thank all of our visitors, both local and from outside the region – for their support, especially since our re-opening on Anzac Day this year,” Stephanie said.
Jamworks is taking bookings for upcoming Christmas functions with choices from finger food to a la cart dinning available.
Jamworks is a fully licensed venue idea for any function.
