The only Rum Pot in New Zealand?
What is Rum Pot? It's the Easiest Way to Preserve Fresh Fruit - see www.eater.com... for more info.
I couldn't find a single Rum Pot on Trademe or FBM, but Rum Pot is VERY popular in Germany (my parents loved putting some on ice cream for desert), and the pot comes with a leaflet about the history (pictured) as well as recipes on how to make proper Rum Pot (buyer's eyes only).
So why not surprise your guests with something they most likely don't know?
It's not mass produced but made by Mayfire Pottery, a small but quite exquisite pottery in Gisborne - judging by this Rum Pot they do excellent work, so that could also be a good investment for the future (please don't break it - it's by far the prettiest rum pot I've seen).
Pickup in Green Bay (we live opposite Green Bay High School) preferred though it is possible to send if buyer pays p&p, or if you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup.
As I work from home anyway I'm home pretty much all the time, so just let me know a time you would like to come round.
I have a whole household and shed to clear - so please have a look at my other listings too!
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
