PRESERVES

Each jar of hand-crafted artisan preserves is made with one thing in mind - intense flavor. I specialize in marmalade but also offer a few seasonal flavors...like this one!

NEW! Blackberry-Lime Jam

Hand picked local wild blackberries. I'm sorry, but they are far superior in flavor than what you'll find at the farmer's markets. They may be small but they're sweet and full of deep blackberry flavor. Lime was the perfect choice for a little zest. Blackberry season is nearly over so be sure to pick up a jar at either market this Fall before they're all gone!

Ingredients: wild blackberries, pectin, lime zest, lime juice and sugar.

Pineapple Jam

This jam was inspired by my recipe for pineapple upside-down cake. Aside from the pineapple, there's two key ingredients that make this jam special - cardamom and lime zest. It gives it an amazing tropical flavor. Spread it on my Lime-Cardamom Scones for an over-the-tropical treat!

Ingredients: pineapple, pectin, cardamom, lime zest, lime juice and sugar.

Dandelion Jelly

When I first heard of this jelly I thought "What? That....sounds...cool!" I first heard of it when a member in my Facebook group, Foodcentrics, posted a link to a recipe on another Blogger site called Fat of the Land. I loved the concept that one could just scamper about picking dandelion blossoms and make something delectable. Well, that's just what I did. I scampered. It was described as tasting like "jellified honey".  And that's just what it's like only without that harsh sensation at the back of the throat that honey sometimes produces. Sort of reminds me of chamomile, too. It's wonderful! Dandelion petals boast antioxidant properties, too. To read more about this beneficial plant click here.

Ingredients: dandelion petal tea, pectin, lemon juice and sugar.

"We loved the jelly! It was unique and interesting in flavour while remaining familiar - it satiated our jelly cravings :).  It was really great with almond butter."
- Lidi Giroux

"We tried the dandelion jelly and really liked it. You're right, it's like a light honey with a jelly texture. It was delicious on our scones! Not too sweet like some jams are."
- Karen Hung

Orange Marmalade

I wrote a post about my marmalade experience which discusses my hatred of marmalade, to my understanding of marmalade, to my becoming a devout marmalade born-again. And I invite all of you haters out there to try it. 

Making this marmalade is a pain staking process which takes about five hours of prep work, laborious hand work trimming off the peel, removing all the bitter pith from the peel, supreming ten pounds of oranges, two stages of cooking, milking the pectin from the jelly bag (which in itself take about 25 minutes) and standing all the while. It's an old school process made with fresh oranges and sugar. Needless to say, it's a labor of love.

Ingredients: oranges, orange peel, lemon juice and sugar.

Mixed Citrus Marmalade

This is made in the exact same way orange marmalade is made only with a mixture of grapefruit, mandarins and limes. This marmalade has a complex citrus flavor. It has a little more "bite" than the orange but by no means über bitter. It's lovely on toast but I'm sure you can play around with it in the kitchen. Maybe use it in a glaze for duck or lamb. Or as a filling in a chocolate cake!

Ingredients: grapefruit, mandarins, limes, citrus peel, lemon juice and sugar.

Pomelo-Lime Marmalade

If you are a marmalade lover and actually like a stronger taste this is the flavor for you. It's made with Pomelo, a rather mild grapefruit-like citrus mixed with lime and vanilla. A unique marmalade to add to your collection!

Ingredients: pomelo, limes, lime zest and sugar.
