Made some Cranberry Sauce for our pals at @dominio

Made some Cranberry Sauce for our pals at @dominioncity last week. Fresh cranberries are too good!
.
Always grateful for seasonal changes and the opportunities to handle different produce throughout the year 😌
.
We made lots of new recipes this year. It felt good to share some things we have been working on. Pepper Sauce, Spicy Pickled Eggplant, Natural Brine Pickles. And we still have a few tricks and treats coming.
.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming as our backordered jars arrived late last week. Finally we can restock Red Pepper Jelly! Blueberry Gin Jam! Whiskey Orange Marmalade! Maraschino Cherries!
.
It's a bit quiet on here as we prep the new ✨retail space✨ and work through the available fall produce. And we prepare for one more bonus outdoor event!
.
📆UPCOMING EVENT: The Leftovers Market at Dominion City Brewing, brought to you by @ottawamarkets this Sunday, October 17 from noon - 4 p.m.

Not sure how much longer the local produce will keep rolling in, but hoping we get to catch up on Pickled Beans production after the long weekend! 🤞🏼
.
I'm looking forward to enjoying some lovely fall weather and getting a little break this weekend. I hope you get a little r&r too!
.
👩‍💻Our website is currently having some issues but I think our Instagram shopping page can connect you to the product pages on the website. I will be troubleshooting next week. Sorry about that!

My favourite bakery emailed me yesterday to say that we've been doing business together for 8 years. Today I sleepily pulled this @breadbyus shirt on, and when I went to the staff bathroom to put my hair up I felt all warm and fuzzy when I saw what I was wearing.
.
It's so nice to receive an email that just says "we appreciate you!" Thanks BBU Crew, we think you're all pretty great too. 💓

Pickled Turnips are making a comeback next week! We took a little break from making them to catch up on production of Pickled Beets and Carrots.
.
Hoping they will be ready for the #ParkdaleNightMarket encore this coming Wednesday, October 6th 4-8 p.m. We are planning to bring lots of seasonal preserves! @ottawamarkets

Starting another batch of Tomatillo Salsa with @justfarmsveg (they have the best tomatillos!)

Charcoal grilled tomatillos are simmered with jalapeños, garlic, onion, cilantro and apple cider vinegar, then blended and bottled. Locally sourced salsa 🪄

Grateful to my new prep helper for shucking all the tomatillos! ☺️

Well, here we go 🙃 Our 190 mL jars are on backorder from our glass supplier. Not being able to source them will make things tricky. Covid sure cranks up the difficulty setting!
.
Luckily we are small and can pivot. It's a relief that we are nimble enough to modify our production mid-season. Our stockists and customers are understanding of the extra challenges posed by pandemic supply chain issues. No doubt they are dealing with their own supply related setbacks.
.
We have lots of great jam, pickles, marmalade and more in store. Bear with us while we shuffle our plans during this busy harvest season!
.
Pictured: our Blood Orange - Pomegranate Marmalade in a 190 mL jar. Available online!
.
Hopefully the pallet makes it here by the end of October 🤞🏼🤪

More Pickled Beets are coming! We have been sold out of these for a few weeks, we just can't keep up with the orders coming in 😅
.
Pickled Beets were always a favourite of mine and I am so pleased you guys love them too! The recipe is a classic and a must try. Tender, sweet, tangy, and lightly spiced.
.
We will be restocking many retailers next week!

🍋Deliciously tart Raspberry Lemon Jam. I've always loved raspberries and they make an excellent jam. This one is loaded with lemon zest and juice, for those who like it tangy!

This flavour is always popular and one of my personal faves. 😌

Tomatillos are here! I absolutely adore the tomatillos from @justfarmsveg and look forward to them every year, though they are a lot of work to husk/peel/shuck. What's the right verb here? 🤔

Bread and Butters! I have converted many "I don't like sweet pickles" people with these. Sweet, yes, but tangy and crisp. Give 'em a try!
