If you haven't yet had the chance to check it out, the Kennebunk Farmers Market is an awesome place to find local food, eat breakfast (or lunch), and spend a Saturday morning. It's kept me extremely busy this summer as well, as the locals and summer visitors just love jam and pickles (and other goodness too, of course)! At the moment, I'm sealing hundreds of jars of preserves and pickles (OH THE PICKLES!) each month, and we're
considering making plans to build a new kitchen set-up to meet the demand. Here's a wee glimpse at what I've recently brought to market and
the stands:
Aside from the usual popular goodies including bread & butters, the berry jams, and anything with rhubarb, I've had a great time making batches of hot stuff. Most recently I've cooked a ton of Cranberry Hinkle Hatz, named for the very hot pepper with the same name. Thanks to Pam at
Trailside Herbs for introducing these spicy gems to my garden. Local cranberries, a few strawberries, and some sweet and hot peppers go along way spread over goat cheese in a little dish with fancy crackers. Yum.
