Tag: Jam It Salon

Thank you to 18 reasons and to everyone for coming last night!  Certainly I cannot remember everything that we tasted and talked about, but here's my lame attempt: We had an amazing spread…more of Tarril's three great pickles (including cherry tomatoes), an outstanding peach chutney and apple butter, excellent Hungarian plum sauces and a cherry port, strawberry jam, Kirsten's delish toffee with chocolate, strawberries with gin, lime, and sugar, and a killer persimmon butter. McEvoy Ranch came and did a sneak-tasting of their new jams they will be selling, and they were great!  I also brought some fresh almond milk, chocolate almond spread, sweet red pepper and corn relish, some fresh peach butter…SEE what ya'll missed? :>

First off, a zillion thanks to Celia at Omnivore Books for hosting my incoherent talk at her bookstore this past weekend. Despite the fact that I did close to nothing to promote the event, about 20 or so food-eaters showed up and chimed in.  Thank you to everyone. I hope to teach a class on basic canning techniques there later this year.
