Picked up some @justfarmsveg tomatillos and lots of other veggies at the Orleans @ottawafarmmkt today. Serious fall bounty happening there as farmers prepare for a frost tonight.

Tomatillo Salsa coming soon 💚

Wish I took more pics but I get so overstimulated at markets. I sometimes forget I'm supposed to be a content creator on top of my other very pressing duties as a small business owner and cook.
.
On a side note, engagement on socials has been really low lately so if you're missing my posts you can add me to your favourites. I'm not doing it for the likes, so don't worry I'll keep posting lots of what we are up to at Top Shelf Preserves regardless of the numbers ✌🏼

This was a summer of so much pickling. I love when

This was a summer of so much pickling. I love when I can set everything up and just pack for hours, getting into that flow state. I've learned that it's important to task myself with challenging projects that let me flex my expertise and honour my creativity.
.
People say that love or care goes into their handmade products but really it's more of a *secret third thing* I haven't quite determined yet.
.
I hope you enjoy 💚💜💛

This time of year we get to make the most exquisit

This time of year we get to make the most exquisite preserve: Plum Jam 💜
.
Seriously the most versatile of jams and one of the few jams imo that tastes better than the sum of its parts (fresh plums and sugar)
.
Really good with cheese, on bread, and as a complement to rich flavours - I love it on duck confit and with egg rolls.
.
This batch is headed to @wilf_ada so you can spread it on your toast as soon as this weekend! It was also recently featured in pop tarts and flakies at @littlejoberrys 💯
.
We have some yellow plum jam and blue plum jam in stock at the shop. Yellow plum is a little more tart and floral, blue plum jam is a little more rich. Both jams are sweetened to a meagre 40% sugar so you really do taste the fruit and get that nice tart flavour from the skin.

Fresh Quebec raspberries for our Raspberry Lemon Jam 🍋🍋🍋

Raspberries were one of my favourite fruits as a kid. I loved and still love any naturally tart fruit! This jam reflects that love for extra tart flavours.
