I'm starting to get excited about cold weather food. Marmalade on toast is good any season, but it starts becoming a craving for me around this time of year.

🍎🍎🍎We picked up some bright red crabapples at Parkdale Market last week to make jelly. Look at the colour of the juice!
.
I love this simple, two ingredient jelly. Just crabapples and sugar, cooked until set. It is so good on a cheddar scone! What's your favourite pairing?

Available now in the online store. IRL store coming soon! Like, a few weeks!

👩‍🍳Have you heard about the famous breakfast sandwich at @arlingtonfive?
.
Well, they are now selling retail jars of the Jalapeño Garlic Jelly, in case you need some for home.
.
Here's how A5 describes the infamous breakfast sandwich (the veggie version): made with sprouts from @kyanculture, roasted red peppers, feta, eggs from @bekingseggs, fresh baked buns from @portobakery and the glorious glue that pulls it all together: jalapeño-garlic jelly from @topshelfpreserves.
.
Glorious glue 😂
