Homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette

11/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Raspberries are one of my favorite fruits. 

​I love adding fresh raspberries to salads
 and eating them plain for a night time treat.

Store bought vinaigrette recipes often contain high fructose corn syrup, vegetable oils and preservatives. I prefer to make my version fresh instead and often whip up a batch as I need it.

Create your raspberry vinaigrette in your home using our #OrchardFreshSyrup!

It takes 2 seconds to make and all you need is your imagination...
Picture
In a glass or cup,
pour 4 tablespoons of our #OrchardFreshSyrup,
then add 4 table spoons of vinager,
and four tablespoons of olive oil.

Add crushed pepper to your liking. I cover mine witha cool pepper mill my son bought for me on a snow boarding trip to Panorama.

Mix all together and taste the magic of our orchard raspberry!

In a mixing bowl toss your leaf lettice, then add these ingredients:
nut of your choice, I prefer pine nuts, but Jennifer like walnuts. My kids prefer no nots. lol I also like to add goat cheese, lighly ripped up and of course anything you desire. Jennifer loves avocado, as do I.

I let everyone pour there own vinaigrette, although when we have company I drizzle the vinaigrette heavily on the salad...

It takes 2 seconds to make and all you need is your imagination...

What is holding you back from trying this tonight?

Flash freezing our orchard berries...

0 Comments

 
Our berries are the back bone to our orchard fresh syrups. 

We flash freeze berries within minutes of picking. By doing this we capture not only the flavour ~ but the harvest berry sugars, low PH and the high acidic berry juice.

In a sense, when you taste our syrups, you're tasting the100% NATURAL flavours.

So many people have asked, "how do you do it?"

Simply put, we pick clean ripe berries and freeze them instantly!
Below is a batch freezing...
Picture
Our frozen orchard berries expand by 14-22 percent.  

We take pride in the high quality of our berries. 
 Next time you're near one of our testing stations,
​tell us which berry is your favorite!

Crushed Crab-Apple ~ Tea Time!

11/4/2015

1 Comment

 
Our best winter tea recipe....
Picture
ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp (1 oz) Cruched Crab-Apple Syrup (Orchard Fresh Syrup)
  • 1 cup (8oz) hot green/black tea

Instructions:

Make your regular tea, measure out two heaping tablespoons of our Orchard Fresh Syrup and stir into your hot tea...

These are the best ingredients not only to keep the body warm but also to soothe a sore throat or to open up blocked sinuses. For a detoxification, one can choose to use green tea leaves or green tea bags.

It can be made quickly and fresh each day in a microwave or can be brewed on stove top in large quantities and refrigerated. Using either method infuses the apple flavour well. You can plus or minus ginger and pepper to suit to your liking or you can add more ingredients you desire. 

Enjoy,
Jennifer
