We handcraft artisan preserves up here in Madison, WI. And when we say handcrafted, we mean we’re actually in the kitchen slicing, dicing and caramelizing until all hours of the night. We taste and tweak every pot to ensure each batch is up to our exacting standards. This artisan-centered approach allows us to always use the highest quality fresh produce, adjusting for the differences in season and variety. Enjoy!
Chow.com, a national food blog, files us under “stuff we want to eat right now” and TastingTable.com says, “These not-too-sugary jams just may become the secret ingredient in your home cooking.” Most importantly, our customers tell us they love our preserves and keep coming back for more!
Our preserves are the perfect pairing to Wisconsin’s best artisanal cheese. Fig complements Gouda, Chevre, or a mellow bleu, Marmalade counterpoints a sharp Asiago, and Pear is luscious with a triple-creme Brie. Shallot is a natural with meats, veggies and Malbecs. Or pair with a strong bleu or salty Parmesan. Also eat with breakfast pastries, spread on sandwiches, drizzled over ice cream and mixed into yogurt. Or just dig in with a spoon. More ideas
So we just got in our first seasonal shipment of local, organic, heirloom pears and apples from Wisconsin, and we’re using all that delicious fruit to make our Pear with Honey and Ginger preserves. This fall, we’ll jar up as much of the local stuff as we can, and hopefully those jars will last us through the winter!

When we met the owners of City Provisions at a fun Chicago Green City Market event, they told us that one night they saw An Inconvenient Truth, and the next day they sold their car and came up with the idea for their business. Or something like that! Anyway, their catering company is super-eco and super cool (I just wish we lived in Chicago so we could hire them for something!).
This week, they opened … Read more »
The Q&A Pizza from La Fortuna
How cute is the name of this new touring wood-fired pizza company from Madison? It came to Jen in a dream, and she and hubby Scott, along with their daughter Evie, have been driving from party to festival with a custom-built-oven-on-wheels in tow.
The whole family was hard at work at last Saturday’s Food For Thought Festival. Scott’s at the oven while Jen and Evie make dough in the screened-in kitchen.
And here’s the Q&A … Read more »
