This Week at the Market: Martha's Jams

We are great fans of Cheverly's own Martha Allen and her wonderful jams and preserves. Have you tried her spiced blueberry? Absolutely delicious! Martha's Jams are a great secret ingredient, too. Add a bit of the hot peach to your shrimp, pork or tofu glaze, stir a little spiced blueberry into your cocktail, brush pineapple and a little hot sauce on those chicken legs...use a little cherry in those homemade pop-tarts. Whatever you do, we promise we won't tell. And don't forget to stock up on a few extra jars...of course, it's great on toast, too.

We're excited to have the option of smaller jars, too. It's a great way to sample all sorts of new flavors without that nagging fear of commitment. Honestly, who doesn't have a jar or two (or four) of something in your fridge that you thought would be your new favorite but just turns out to be not to your taste? The other great thing about the small jars? They're the perfect amount for a weekend. Have a little on your morning toast, a dab over some cheese at cocktail hour and incorporate a bit in that great marinade or glaze in your super-secret BBQ or grilling recipe. I'm looking at you, Hot Pepper Jelly.
So buy a big jar of your favorite -- it's time to start thinking about those school lunch bags again -- and a smaller jar or two of something you've wanted to try. You'll be happy you did.


From classic to daring combinations, there's something for everyone!
