When the souffle fails to rise, or the pumpkin pie doesn’t turn out right, it’s good to have a back-up plan. This is one of ours. Many of you have become aquainted with our line of fruit curds from Elizabethan Pantry, but for those of you who have not, we will be offering a tasting of our favorites; lemon, raspberry, a...nd surprisingly to us, apple!. These spreads are made with all natural ingredients and contain NO artificial flavorings, thus their superlative flavors. Since no tartlet is complete without clotted cream , we will be offering a tasting of ours, also from Elizabethan Pantry. This product is shelf-stable and does not need to be refrigerated until it is opened. It is simply pure, fresh cream, with no added ingredients, and the flavor is unbelievable. We will serve this in our mini tartlet shells which is the final touch to create a delectably spontaneous treat.
There will be a 15% discount on all tasting related items.

About seven years ago, we decided, after much discussion, that fruitcake does not deserve the incredibly bad reputation that it has been handed over the last thirty years. So we made it our goal to bring about a fruitcake renaissance by scouting out the finest fruit ingredients that the world has to offer. After extens...ive research, tasting, and many, many, rejections, we believe that we have put together a very impressive collection. We found these luscious Australian fruits to be beyond compare. Apparently, many of you agree with us, as we have a hard time keeping these extraordinary glaceed fruits on the shelf! Today you can sample each of them. Call us silly, but since fruit IS the main ingredient in fruitcake, it just makes sense that the better the fruit, the better the cake. In addition, we will offer a selection of the candied fruits available at your local grocery store so you can compare for yourselves. We hope you’ll stop by.
Tasting to be held from 11:00AM until 5:00PM and there will be a 15% discount on all tasting related items.

Choose between the Martin Pouret Raspberry Vinegar , or our French Fig Vinegar for the perfect compliment to vegetables and fruit.
