December 2019 Featured Jam: Girl Meets Dirt Pear Balsamic Spoon Preserves

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” ― Henry David Thoreau

There’s something special about our December Featured Jam maker, Girl Meets Dirt. Every detail of their handmade products, from the fruit-forward flavor of their jams and shrubs to the beautiful packaging, is a reminder of the care and dedication with which their products were made. Taking no shortcuts, Girl Meets Dirt makes every batch slowly in a copper pot with fruit, a little sugar, and a lot of patience.

Based in the San Juan Islands at the northwest corner of Washington State, Girl Meets Dirt was founded in 2013 after Audra Lawlor (“girl”) left a career on Wall Street for a farmette down a one-lane road on Orcas Island (“dirt”). Audra and her team see the foods they make as tangible ways to celebrate a human connection to the land and the beautiful fruit it produces.

This month’s jam, Pear Balsamic is an ode to the Bartlett pears sourced from nearby heirloom orchards. Don’t let the balsamic vinegar frighten you. It adds a wonderful acidity and brightness, elevating the taste of the pears without overpowering their delicate flavor. Organic quince and lemon juice provide additional depth, balanced by just the right amount of organic cane sugar. The resulting preserves are equally delicious with blue cheese or in a vinaigrette as they are paired with our Chai Spice Peanut & Almond Butter over apple cider donuts.

We are so excited to offer Girl Meets Dirt Pear Balsamic Spoon Preserves as our December 2019 Featured Jam. Available while supplies last á la carte, in recommended PB&J and AB&J pairings, and in PB&J and AB&J gift boxes.

Simple Holiday Snacks

 “Small cheer and great welcome make a merry feast.” — William Shakespeare

It’s that time of year to dust off the serving ware, entertain, and bring your favorite dishes to holiday potlucks and office parties. Keep it stress-free with these super simple ideas for shareable snacks.

Build-Your-Own Peanut Butter Cracker Platter
Crackers with peanut butter are a classic snack that everyone loves and a quick cure for the holiday hangries. Elevate your offerings with our Hot Mamba Peanut Butter plus interesting toppings like red peppers, celery, herbs, or even a sour pickle. Or go the sweet/spicy route with coconut and banana slices.

Mark’s Peanut Dipping Sauce
Ok, so calling this recipe simple might be a bit of a stretch, BUT it can be made up to three days ahead of time so you don’t have to fuss with it the day of a gathering. Full recipe here via FOOD & WINE.

Sweet & Nutty Dessert Board
We love a beautiful pie as much as anyone, but sometimes after a large holiday meal, there’s nothing nicer than a simple spread of fruits, nuts, chocolate, crackers, and nut butter to build your perfect dessert selection. We recommend our classic Peanut Butter with single-origin chocolate from bean-to-bar makers like Askinosie, plus a berry jam.
