Lemon Medley Marmalade Three for $25 Santa Cruz/Los Gatos

Cured yellow onions of mixed sizes, medium to large -- a kitchen staple, and the start of soups, stews and so many other dishes. $18 per ten pound bag.

Mariquita Farm "Culinary Herb Collection" includes Sage (8 g bag), Summer Savory (12 g bag) and Greek Laurel. The herbal oils in our herbs are preserved longer by not crushing the herbs prior to package. Crushing or bruising the herbs releases the flavor and aroma in the plant oil and should be done right before use.

Quince is an ancient fruit originating in the Caucasus and northern Persia, and related to apples and pears. It is high in vitamin C and antioxidants, as well as pectin, making it a great fruit for jams, marmalades, tarts and pies. Though it can be eaten raw, it is usually preferred cooked, either roasted in the oven or diced and cooked down with water or apple juice until becomes a puree or compote. $14 per five pound bag.

This year we are offering a collection of farm treats from Mariquita Farm and our neighbors at Belle Farms and Fruitilicious Farms. We have created a gift bag which includes Belle Farms olive oil, Apple/Quince Jelly, rose petals and a selection of herbs and herbal infusions.
