Apple Earl Grey Jelly

It was only a matter of time before the years Christine Manning spent as a child in her Italian mother’s kitchen would influence her career. While on a break between marketing jobs, Manning and her husband James planted a vegetable garden and were rewarded with a bumper crop. Manning canned those vegetables, joined a farmers’ market and launched Manning Canning. When it was time to grow, Manning was faced with the challenge of finding adequate commercial kitchen space. After a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2014, Manning opened her own commercial kitchen in Toronto’s Leaside neighbourhood that now hosts 40 small food businesses in addition to her own. Made with cold-pressed juice from Ontario apples, the delicately flavoured apple Earl Grey jelly had a couple of inspirations — tea time with James’ parents in the U.K. and an apple and earl grey martini Manning fell in love with in New York.
