Friends of mine grow the sweetest raspberries this side of Heaven. (I’m sure there must be raspberries in Heaven). This product has a jewel-like color and the flavor of fresh picked raspberries. One customer warms the spread and uses it on French toast.

It’s busy-bee time when our friends, the McKnights, bring in the many buckets of freshly picked blueberries. This luscious fruit becomes a wonderful spread and a great topping for fluffy buttermilk pancakes, or a warm sauce on homemade peach ice cream.

These native Oregon berries grow in the shadow of the Cascade Mountain Range and are slowly cooked into one of our most popular spreads. I use it mixed with fresh berries in a cobbler, without any additional sweetener and it makes a delightful variation on a classic Linzertorte.

Sunnyside Tart Cherry [12 oz. $6.00]

Most of the Montmorency cherries grow in the orchards around the Dalles above the mighty Columbia River. With just a hint of almond,this spread turns crisp waffles into a real treat. Many of our customers purchase this spread by the case - they just don’t want to run out.

Hood Meadows Strawberry-Rhubarb [11 oz. $6.00]

Deep rosey-red rhubarb grows at Canby along the Willamette River and this spread will be reminiscent of old fashioned Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie. I use this as a glaze for baked ham, but I know a little boy (Matthew - my grandson) who just loves it on hot buttered biscuits.

Garden Grove Gooseberry Apricot [11 oz. $6.00]

Tart gooseberries and plump golden apricots become a fresh new flavor. Not just for bagels and cream cheese but you will find is a nice glaze for chicken breasts.

Oregon Gold Apricot Marmalade [11 oz. $6.00]

Sweet Blenheim apricot halves from Eastern Oregon, crushed Hawaiian pineapple and hand-sliced Valencia oranges are the main ingredients in this most special blend of flavors. This is one of my first creations and I know it’s one of my best and also a very popular spread. Try mixing with a tablespoon or so of onion soup mix and the same of Russian dressing and baste chicken thighs while they are baking.

Cape Ferrelo Cranberry Conserve [7 oz. $5.00]

Bright red Oregon Coast cranberries are combined with chopped oranges, raisins, walnuts and brandy for an exciting conserve. For real decadence mix in some chocolate chips and barely warm it in the microwave then top vanilla or chocolate ice cream with it. For a quick lunch, I will mix a spoonful or so into a cup of plain or vanilla yogurt.
