We believe the flavors and consistencies of each different fruit and vegetable variety opens each one up to so many other possibilities that we think of them as much more than just jams to be used at breakfast. Viewing them more as sauces opens up their options and will help you create your own unique delights.

The definition of a sauce is:

“A thickened , flavored liquid that is designed to accompany food                           in order to enhance and bring out it’s flavor.”

This definitely includes jams.

We have used them as toppings for pancakes, cheesecakes and ice cream. We have tried them as a glaze on chicken, pork and beef, with cheese and crackers and we have created some amazing dressings.

Year Round Varieties:

One of our regulars at the Waukesha Farmer’s Market has a problem with milk.  She mixes our Lemon Curd with her granola and fruit for breakfast.  Lemon Curd is traditionally used as a spread on English Muffins, or toast.  It is used in Long Johns and as a base for fruit tarts. Try drizzling some over berries for a refreshing finish to a meal.

The East Indian Carrot goes well on a roast beef  sandwich instead of the usual mayo or mustard. It is also excellent with goat cheese on crackers. One of our regulars uses it as a side when serving salmon. She has also mixed it with sour cream and used it as a dip with other veggies. We deglaze our pan when frying up a chicken breast with butter and the East Indian Carrot. Then we cut it up the chicken and put it on a bed of lettuce with some veggies, nuts and or seeds (pumpkin seeds are perfect) for a great main dish salad.  We have also added the deglazed chicken to rice, added some nuts (pecan are the favorite) for terrific side dish.

Try mixing our Red Onion Jam with a little mayo and horseradish on a roast beef sandwich. It is also very good on grilled steaks, brats, and on a pastrami sandwich.

Seasonal Varieties

The Blackberry is excellent baked into cheese, spread on pancakes, an English muffin or toast and of course it’s great over ice cream. Use it to deglaze your pan when cooking chicken, cut and place on a bed of lettuce with almonds or pecans.

The Sunshine Tomato is excellent on a hot buttermilk biscuit or cornbread with a bowl of soup or eggs and bacon. Try it as a side relish with meat fish or poultry.
