Jewel Of A Jam
June 23rd, 2006
This jam has been described as a “golden jewel” that’s ideal for use as an ice cream or yogurt topping. Each batch of Sarabeth’s award-winning fruit is carefully monitored throughout the cooking process. Selections are painstakingly cut by hand to preserve natural flavor and texture then methodically simmered in tiny batches that thicken without the use of pectin. These are all-natural and not annoyingly sweet like ordinary preserves. The best news? They’re also lower in calories.

Tiny Treasures

Sunny days call for sunflower seeds. They’re a healthy snack, so you know we were eager to find something that feels a bit more indulgent (we are so bad!). This chocolate covered version fits the bill indeed. Oven roasted sunflower kernels are dipped in milk chocolate and covered with a rainbow candy coat. Rainbow Sunflower Dragee is an explosion of taste and hypnotic color. Indulge at your own risk if you’re the type who has difficulty with portion control.

Bing Zing
June 21st, 2006
Grandma was a talented baker, but she never made desserts like this, nor would she attempt to. Her culinary style was more traditional and far less flashy. But let’s face it: she would have loved every last bite of this marvelous Bing Cherry Cheesecake. Only the sweetest, most flavorful Oregon bing cherries are swirled in the New York cake batter. It’s baked on a delightfully thin crust that’s begging to be garnished with fresh cherries. Each cake is fresh-cooled and rushed from The Fruit Company bakery to your doorstep in a special cool-pack container that ensures optimum freshness (or your money back).

Johan Verde
June 20th, 2006
Computer Aided Design makes possible nearly any thinkable form, where form also can be transformed into matter. With this process of automation it is easy to forget the structure and lines of resistance of natural matter – its own generic. This is the philosophy of Norwegian Johan Verde, who’s ideas unfolds, turns around and enfolds. Design by trial and error as a process of disclosure. See more of his design after the jump.
