I make jam the way my grandmother used to — all natural, with no added pectin or thickeners, and very low sugar. Fruit and veggies are local, and only the best of the season. The better the produce, the better the preserve. The compotes are subtle, one should taste the fruit first, followed by a gentle note of flavour. Savouries are bright and layered. My kitchen is vegetarian, and the full line i
s vegan. The batches are small, done entirely by hand, to exacting standards. Each preserve can be used in a myriad of ways….on toast, sure, but also in recipes, desserts, as condiments and as food enhancers. (Each and every one is eaten with cheese and crackers here. Or if I’m lucky, brie and a lovely bread.) Happy to share recipes! Custom orders are available seasonally. I love to take a family recipe and re-create it, or to be inspired by something from memories of childhood. Proudly Canadian, I believe in the values of homesteading - local, seasonal and simply delicious food.
