Apple
Apple Sass with Calvados and cardamom

Similar to an apple “butter” or “jam”, with heirloom apples (Jonathan, Coe’s Golden Pip, Esopus Spitzenburgs) from upstate New York are taken to a whole other level with French Calvados apple brandy and fresh cardamom that Laena picked up in the Cardamom Hills of Kerala, India. It’s so good.

Heirloom apples, cloves, cinnamon, sparkling apple cider, lemon juice and sugar
Similar to an apple “butter” or “jam”, with heirloom apples (Jonathan, Coe’s Golden Pip, Esopus Spitzenburgs) from upstate New York are cooked down to buttery goodness and deepened into a fall wonderland of flavor with clove, cinnamon and sparkling apple cider.

Hot Fireman’s Pear Jam with chipotle and cinnamon
Bartlett pears, cinnamon, chipotle, lemon juice and sugar
Non-certified organic pears from a fireman’s backyard in upstate New York are given a smoky, hot and spicy buzz with the addition of chipotle and cinnamon. This jam smells like autumn, when the air is tinged with woodsmoke. The sweet heady taste of pears is the first flavor you taste, followed by smoky and then finally a spicy kick to round it off. A jar of this supports our local NY fireman who risk their lives for us and grow pears!
Pear Ginger Jam
Bartlett pears, fresh ginger, lemon juice and sugar
Pears from Breezy Hill Farm in upstate New York pare perfectly with fresh ginger.
Hot Pepper
I Eat Brooklyn Hot Pepper Jelly with 99% Brooklyn sourced ingredients
peppers (cherry bomb, banana, jalapeno, sweet), vinegar, sugar, all natural pectin
Hot and sweet peppers from Brooklyn’s own Rooftop Farms and Anarchy in a Jar’s homemade red wine vinegar make this jam almost entirely Brooklyn sourced (if only Domino sugar hadn’t left a few years ago)! This stuff is the bomb. Farmer Ben’s peppers are amazingly flavorful and beautiful, and were biked over from up the street in Brooklyn–-this jelly has a very small carbon footprint. Spicy and sweet, you can put it on anything for an added punch of flavor. It might become our favorite winter snack.
