Robust flavor reminiscent of currants! Aronia, or chokeberry, is a native North American shrub that thrives in our area. This is a delicious and underutilized fruit with a full and robust flavor that reminds me of currants. The fruits are dark and loaded with antioxidants, as much or more than elderberries.
Pickled Garlic Scapes

A "just right" pickle treat! We had a great 2022 crop and the pickled scapes are fabulous ...and addictive! Unique pickles made of garlic flower stems - while they are tender - using a traditional dill pickle recipe.

Classic old fashioned relish that uses those last green tomatoe of the season! Both sweet and tangy, the flavor will stand up to hamburgers, hot dogs, baked potatoes - my favorite - and any other creative place you choose to enjoy it!
