Nowadays, most jams - even homemade - are made by adding pectin, a starch that gels the fruit in just a minute, but only with the addition of large amounts of sugar (or a substitute like corn syrup) usually 2/3 sugar to 1/3 fruit. (Since we don't rely on adding pectin to facilitate a quick gel, we can reverse this to 2/3 FRUIT to 1/3 SUGAR!)

Our preserves have a deeper color, more intense flavor, and softer texture than ordinary jams and they spread easily over toast, muffins, scones, popovers, biscuits, and waffles. They are also wonderful with desserts such as trifles, cheesecakes, crepes, tarts and puddings. They provide a brilliant addition to glazes or sauces for meat, poultry and seafood. 12oz

Fruits that are allowed to ripen fully in the summer sun sparkle like jewels. Their aroma is intoxicating. Their flavor is more intense and more complex than that of fruits that must travel to a market. It's that perfect flavor of sun-ripened fruit that we try to capture by making our preserves with as little sugar as possible (twice as much fruit as sugar).

We make our preserves the old-fashioned way by cooking the fruit in a wide kettle with just enough sugar to ensure a soft set. Using 2/3 fruit to 1/3 sugar, I stir every kettle of boiling fruit as it cooks down, skimming off the foam created as the juice evaporates and the preserves thicken.

It's hard to convey how happy I am picking luscious, ripe raspberries on a hot summer day, or harvesting the long-awaited Damson plums in September.

We start with our own fruits - grown organically with tender-loving care. Fruits are my passion. I love everything about growing them, eating them and cooking them.

When I feel the resistance in the stirring spoon increase, I begin testing the fruit, coating and tilting the spoon until I know it's ready. When it is, I remove the kettle from the heat, stir a bit more, then ladle the fruit into jars. Ralph boils the lids and covers the jars and cans them in the boiling water bath canner. Each batch makes a dozen jars or less.

The stars, though, are the fresh French Tarragon, Lavender, Garlic & Chili Peppers (in order of harvest) - whose flavors infuse each jar! 12 oz

We make our Kitchen Garden Brand Sriracha and Habanero Sriracha from peppers that we grow here at the farm. Our sriracha sauce is an all-natural product made with our own peppers and garlic, organic cane sugar, organic white vinegar and xanthan gum. 8oz

We start by selecting fully ripe peppers from our fields, which we grind with the garlic, sugar and salt and allow to ferment for 4-10 days depending on the ambient temperature. After fermentation, the pepper "mash" is passed through a food mill to remove all of the skins and seeds. Then we cook it with the vinegar and bottle it. Our sriracha sauce is sealed and shelf-stable but should be refrigerated after opening. 8oz

Sriracha is a type of hot chili sauce used in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. It is different from American style sauces in its use of fresh, whole chilies and garlic with minimal use of vinegar.

The habanero sriracha is particularly good on a burrito. 8oz

This is our most popular blend of chopped digitata, alaria, and kelp suitable for adding to soups, stews and whole grains. Many people don’t have time for fancy cooking, but they do keep a pot of soup. If that soup contains a variety of seaweeds, the person will be more assured of getting necessary minerals. Think of it this way: 90% of human immunity to bacteria and viruses is “nonspecific immunity” and that simply means that we keep our human bloodstreams well mineralized (alkaline) and salty enough so that whatever bacterial and viral critters crawl into us are literally DEHYDRATED by the ocean we have carried within us since time immemorial. If I were ill, physically or spiritually, I would turn to the sea for my healing, one way or another. In this spirit, I offer the soup mix as a survival pack for helping people to maintain their nonspecific immunity and their internal balance in a world that is growing increasingly stressful.
