Giveaway #5 – Natural Selection Foods baking hamper

More 477 Replies

Hampers bring out the Enid Blyton in me, conjuring images of tartan blankets, lashings of ginger beer, sausage rolls and crumbly biscuits. And this hamper is most definitely one to covet. With an RRP of £49 and including loads of delicious Natural Selection Foods goodies and the wonderful Great British Bake Off cookbook (the cherry Bakewell inspired cupcakes are rather good so I have heard…) Here’s what’s in the hamper:

  • 3 x packs of NS Chopped Dried Apricots
  • 3 x packs of NS Dried Cranberries
  • 3 x packs of NS 5 Fruit Mix
  • 3 x packs of NS Crystallised Ginger
  • 3 x packs of NS Cinnamon Cranberries
  • 3 x packs NS Chopped Dates
  • 2 x packs of NS Crimson Raisins
  • 1 x Natural Selection branded apron
  • 1 x rolling pin
  • 1 x Great British Bake Off cookbook

  93. I am a big advocate of dried fruit, it is more versatile than many people realise as an example it can be used in smoothies and not just cooking and baking.  It also makes a nice snack and an healthy alternative to sweets, making it a good food to get children used to from a young age.

  450. Lovely hamper Holly, I do love a good old fashioned hamper, I know what you mean about the Enid Blyton connection. My Granny used to buy us fancy hampers  at Christmas, always reminded me of summers we spent in the country with her. All very “five go to the country”

  472. Ooo how wonderful are all these ingredients they scream classic British recipes and will contribute to some fun concoctions in the kitchen

  473. The possibilities are endless & cherry bakewell cupcakes? Oh yes please!

  474. wow another great prize Holly, fingers crossed for me. I did the no bake choc cake yesterday and my boys ( my hubby and 12yr old son) have demolished it!
