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.

Sunchowder's Emporia Review

This is a special review, for it is my first official food review on my new blog. Sunchowder's Emporia is a company that makes jams and spreads and so graciously sent me a gift box sampler.

I loved the packaging that these came in. I love companies that go out of their way to put that extra special touch in their packaging. It gives the look and feel of a warm and caring company.

Here is the box that it came in.

So cute and makes me think of fall and holidays.

Inside, was four cute little jars. Makes me wonder how wonderful the regular sizes look!

The flavors I received were Strawberry Balsamic, Pumpkin Butter and Apple Butter.and Spiced Pear. Don't they sound simply delicious? I couldn't decide on which to try first, so I just closed my eyes and picked one. Strawberry Balsamic won, so I got out a bagel and got it ready.

All I can say is 'Bam!" lol. Can I use that?

Anyway, I love the chunks of strawberries and it has an extra kick to it unlike what you buy at the store. I had to open the other flavors and try them on a spoon. All were excellent. I've never actually tried "butter" flavored ones before, so I'm glad that they introduced me to them.

An added benefit to purchasing from this company is that they have no added pectin, corn syrup,preservatives or colors. Can you say that about your jam?

Ok, I know you want to try some yourself or buy some for friends for the holidays coming up. You can find SunChowder's Emporia on Foodzie or you can order from their other store at:
