Raspberries as well as blackberries are one of those things we can get a lot of mileage from. So the first run of the raspberries through the "Mr. Squeezo" food mill separates away all of the seeds and cores of the berries. The fruit pulp yielded from that makes our seedless Raspberry Jam. The leftover seeds and cores are then worked in a sieve to extract all of the juice to make raspberry jelly. The remaining seeds and cores are then cooked down in sugar water for a raspberry simple syrup and after we strain out all of the solids, the seeds and cores are then left to soak in vinegar for a year or so to extract all of the final essence for raspberry vinegar to then use in vinaigrettes for salads.!! Ingredients: Deseeded raspberry puree, organic cane sugar, pectin, lemon juice.

This is another of our preserves where we seek to help the farmers prevent waste by having them collect "seconds", bruised, undersized and oversized product not fit for farmers market sale. What we end up with is a collection of fruit so sweet from so much of the overripe product that our sugar to fruit ratio is sometimes as low as 1:6 vs. the traditional 1:1. For this version of our strawberry jam we add local dried lavender flowers for a light floral note. Ingredients: Strawberries, organic cane sugar, lemon juice, culinary lavender, pectin.
