Frog Hollow Farm Spreads
In this day and age of processed foods, it is amazing to see Frog Hollow Farm resisting the current and instead opting for its own organic fruit for their jelly, conserves and marmalade. When compared with any jam on your grocer's shelf, the difference is clear-Frog Hollow Farm blends sumptuous ingredients that contain just 20% sugar. The rich fruit flavor is showcased in a preserve having a soft consistency unique in its absence of any added pectin or thickeners. Each jar brings the essence of summer's fine fruits. It's quite frankly some of the best preserves I've ever had.
Al Courchesne and his wife Rebecca seem to have the perfect partnership. Grower and chef, husband and wife, farm family and extended family of employees; whatever their roles, they have managed to build a well-respected 120-acre organic farm in Brentwood, Ca. Their fresh produce is sought after by consumers as well as chefs who have their remarkable fruits shipped across the country.
Frog Hollow Farm Navel Orange Marmalade: While not as tart as marmalades made from Seville oranges, Navel orange marmalade has a true tart/sweet balance. When Prince Charles visited the San Francisco Bay Area last year he was served this marmalade. It made quite an impression and the Royal Secretary called within weeks to place an order for the Prince. Price: $10.39, 8 oz
Frog Hollow Farm Peach Conserve: The goal of preserving fruit is to capture a fresh flavor that will satisfy even when the perfect growing season is thwarted by cold rains or buried under deep snow. Using cultivations of twenty-five peach varieties, Frog Hollow Farm crafts jars of preserves that will give you hope for the new season. Price: $6.79, 8oz
Frog Hollow Farm Cherry Conserve: When you open this jar what you won't see is a lot of "jam" but a container loaded with cherries. Obviously great on toast and muffins but try our recipe for a natural pan sauce for roasts. Price: $9.89, 8oz
Frog Hollow Farm Blackberry Jelly: If you've ever made jelly you know the enormous amount of raw fruit it takes to produce enough juice to make one jar of jelly. Quality jelly is made from a labor-intensive process: fruit is crushed and left for hours to drip through a filter. The juice should not be squeezed from the fruit; that results in cloudy jelly. Delicious, intense blackberry flavor is loaded in every jar. Be aware this blackberry jelly, unlike a lot of supermarket brands, is tart with full fruit flavor. Price: $7.39/ 8oz
Frog Hollow Farm Apricot Conserve: I consider the apricot to be the silky, sexy stone fruit; someday I see myself picking a basket of my own. Until then, this conserve is absolutely the next best thing to tree ripened fruit; each jar contains 80% fruit. Price: $6.79, 8 oz
Out of stock until the new crop of apricots is ready in June!
