Preserves, Pickles and Spreads

In this first heat, four food producers with fledgling businesses come to test out their products on the locals in Malhamdale, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. They have two days in the shop to promote and sell their wares.

This time it is makers of preserves, pickles and spreads battling it out for one place in the final. Sara makes apple and chilli jelly from her back garden in a west London street, using home-grown apples. But when she brings it to Yorkshire, will the locals like what they taste? Louise from Brighton has a much-loved family recipe for Filipino papaya pickle. Having given up her career as a lawyer, she hopes the Yorkshire customers can stand the heat and prove she has got a future in food. Couple Linzi and Jason from Dorset have lost ten stone between them, largely down to changing their diet and eating more protein in the shape of peanut butter. Now they make and sell their own, but will they be business savvy enough to make a success of it? Finally, retired florist Pam and her daughter Emily make runner bean chutney from homegrown veg from their garden in Herefordshire. However, whether they can make a virtue of their family-run business and charm the shoppers remains to be seen.

Final

It is the grand final, and all seven heat winners are up against each other to fight it out for the title best up-and-coming artisan.

First they will supply the shop for a month, but this time they won't be there themselves to tempt customers to buy. How will they each fare against the established products on Chris's shelves? They then return for one last day at the shop, where they host a farmers' market for the locals.

Tom Kerridge is on hand to see what the members of the community really think, including welcoming back some old faces - like Amos, the farmer. To win the title, the food producers must prove they have learned lessons from their heat and made their brand even stronger. Judges Alison Swan Parente and Nisha Katona scrutinise the finalists' marketing and products one more time, to see who has most potential to make a name for themselves. Only one can become top of the shop and win.
