Spring is here

After a far too long winter, I think we can safely say that Spring is finally making it's way here in southern Maine.  The rhubarb is already bursting open in the garden and you know what that means.. Rhubarb Patch Jam!
We've been busy readying for the opening day of farmers market,been  very busy in the gardens expanding the blueberry beds, transplanting all the herb seedlings and stirring up the jam pots! Today I'm infusing blackberries in Shirah.

 Many thanks to all that answered our survey. I really appreciated all your comments!
Looking forward to another fruitful season, and seeing you all at farmers market. Mark your calendars.. Opening Dates for Kennebunk Farmers Market--Saturday, May 4th.  And for Wells Farmers Market--Every Wednesday beginning May 22.

Some Like It Hot

Tomorrow at the Kennebunk Farmers Market-- three hotties!  Hot Pepper Jam, Herb Garden Pepper Jelly and our newest savory 'warm' jam... GARLIC & ONION Pepper Jam!  Oh, and we'll also have our Chunky Garden Salsa and so much more! See you there from 8am-1.

Farmers Market

Just a shout out to thank all of our regular and new customers at Wells Farmers Market and Kennebunk Farmers Market for their support! We sincerely appreciate your comments and love sharing our recipes with all of you! This being Natioanl Farmers Week.. be sure to support your local markets. We'll see you Saturday at market--and yes. we'll have plenty of our new Garlic Onion & Pepper Jam for you to sample. :)

Strawberry Balsamico Jam

With our recent mix of sun and rain, strawberries are at their peak this week so we've been busy picking and  preparing jams and jellies to capture this wonderful early summer treat! If you're visiting our neck of the woods, be sure to stop by the Kennebunk Farmers Market or the Wells Farmers Market and dip into our sample jars of Strawberry Balsamico Jam infused with basil, balsamic and fig or some Strawberry Rhubarb & vanilla bean--both just awesome!

A customer told me this week that she made eclairs and in addition to the ricotta cheese she stuffed them with the Strawberry Balsamico Jam. Clearly I will be trying this the next time I make my eclairs.
