Pre-order Perfectly Preserved goodies for the Thanksgiving Table

Perfectly Preserved comes to the end of a busy summer making and selling record numbers of pickled asparagus, dills, relish and more.

This year, this bustling branch of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary made more than 3,000 jars of preserves including 138 litres of dill pickles, 319 jars of marmalade and more than 150 jars of strawberry jam. And they aren’t finished yet.
