Quince and Apple Jams

Quince and Apple was so gracious to send me the Mini Jams and Jars set.

Quince and Apple is a company that I found on Foodzie. They are based out of Madison, Wisconsin. (near me! Well, I'm in Iowa)

When I do reviews, the first thing I check out is the packaging. I have come to be spoiled with cute packaging when it comes receiving food products. The packaging that these came in did not disappoint me! I love the "country" look of brown paper "grass" and the cute crate that holds them will be put to good use long after the jams are gone.

Now, on to the taste. As you might of figured, I love to taste test jams and jellies.

I never stray from traditional flavors when I go to the store, so I like to be able to try new flavors. The flavor choices that you can pick are:

A. Shallot Confit, Pear, and Fig Preserves

B. Jars of Orange Marmalade, Pear, and Fig Preserves

Don't they all sound delicious?

I tried the Fig and Black Tea first and I have to say that I have never tried this flavor before.

I decided to try it on corn bread at the request of a friend. Very good! This could be used on toast or scone too. I've decided to wait on opening the others right now and am enjoying the look of them on my counter.

So, if you are looking for a homemade tasting jam, I would suggest Quince and Apple for great tasting jams and gift baskets.

Chocolate Fruit and Nut Clusters

I love chocolate! If I had to pick one kind of candy to eat, I would pick chocolate.

When I found these Fruit and Nut Clusters from Hedonist Artisan Chocolates, I was all there.

These clusters sample includes:

Ginger Cluster - Fiery baby crystallized ginger

Cranberry Pecan Cluster - Sugared pecans and cranberries

Orange Peel Cluster - Candied Italian orange peels

Pistachio Cluster – Salted California pistachios

Apricot Cluster - Turkish dried apricot

I love the taste of sweet with salty. It's the best combination.

This company hand crafts truffles and chocolate treats with French chocolate and fresh, natural ingredients. Based out of Rochester, NY, they put love into each handcrafted piece.

If you are in the mood for chocolate-remember, Valentine's Day is coming up-visit them today and order a box -or two!

Rogue Valley Gourmet Food Sampler-Cheeses, Sausages and more!

I love food samplers. You get a chance to try a little bit of different foods at the same time. I always think of Hickory Farms, when I think of sausage and crackers. When I came across Gary West Meats from Foodzie, I had to see what their sampler pack was all about.

The Rogue Valley Gourmet Food Sampler ($39) consists of local Rogue Valley products: The famous Rogue Creamery's herb flavored cheddar, All Beef Summer Sausage, crispy hand made Rosemary Crackers from the Deux Chat Bakery in Ashland, Gary West Sweet Hot Mustard, and Gary West Original Recipe Jerky.

Rich in flavors, this would be a great gift, or even just for snacking on a cold winter day.
