Quince preserves coming up...
.
I grabbed a couple cases of quince on a whim. Do they ever smell good! @fruitsexpressltd
.
I peeled and cored them and made a stock with all the trimmings. Cut the fruit into small pieces and combined it with a light syrup made from the cooked peels. Added lime juice and cooked it for a few hours, stirring often, as it changed from pale yellow to a darker pinkish hue.
.
Looking forward to tasting this one on Monday!

We are fortunate to have great quality root vegetables in the winter. We are working hard to get caught up on production so we have a little stash when the supply of fresh beets runs out, sometimes as early as February.
.
It's a great time to stock up your cupboard or pantry at home! Shop is open Wednesday-Saturday 10-3 at ✨527 Gladstone Ave.

You're looking at fermented scotch bonnets smothered with papaya chunks, fermented onion and thyme, dry mustard, turmeric and allspice. We blitz it together, season with brine and vinegar and taste it again in a couple days. Fruity, hot, and aromatic. This is a smooth and balanced pepper sauce. Coming soon to the shop!
.
Preserving is so cool. We got local peppers and onions brined and fermented in the fall to make a vibrant hot sauce in the depth of winter.
.
This batch is similar to ones we made in the summer, which we had available exclusively at the Parkdale Night Market @ottawamarkets. Now it will be available at our shop ✨527 Gladstone Ave.

Raspberry Lemon Jam - lovely spread over toast or stirred into yogurt. This jam is tart and bright and back in stock online and in store.

It's actually shocking how difficult it can be to source certain ingredients right now. Fruit has seen some dizzying price increases. So for this reason, at this time, we aren't able to sell this product wholesale to our stockists.
.
I'm taking all the changes as they come and working on some new products coming out this spring. Also hoping once we can get locally grown fruit, in season, the prices will be easier to swallow.

Shop is open 10-3 today. Winter hours: Wednesday to Saturday 10-3.
