“connecting our community”
All the lemon curd has sold! But we still have beetroot relish, dried lime, cumquat marmalade and gin and lime marmalade … made by lovely volunteers (thanks friends who come along!).
All profits from our preserves support our access all abilities short courses that enable everyone in our community to do things that they love.

Our new program Crunch (Creative Lunch) has been fabulous this term. We’ve met lots of lovely new people and reconnected with friends in the neighbourhood through the program.
Next semester Crunch will run for 6 weeks a term. On Thursdays from 12.30 til 2pm. For $15 you can come along for lunch and then enjoy an art experience with Lee.
You will need to book in on our website (just so we know how much food to make and how many paint brushes etc. to get out!). The dates will be added this week - if you are keen to book in early.
Here are some amazing botanical prints we made this week - just to get you inspired! We hope to see you after the holidays.
With a fabulous donation of Tahitian limes this month we’ll be exploring citrus based recipes in preserves group. In particular we’ll be:
Dehydrating limes to add a fancy twist to a cocktail/mocktail
Cooking up a batch of marmalade, and
Packing some preserved limes.
Join us this Tuesday afternoon in the kitchen from 1pm. It’s great way to meet other locals - and help us fundraise.
ACC is one of the Local Matters in the Grill’d fund raising jars.
Next time you are feeding your hungry family hamburgers and chips please cast your bottle top vote in the Alphington Community Centre jar :-)
