An appetizer idea:
Liquify Chili Lime by placing a 125ml jar, lid off, in the microwave and heat for 15 to 20 seconds.
Pour Chili Lime over a cheese ball, e.g. garden vegetable available at Sobeys Deli, and serve on a appetizer tray with crackers and a cheese knife.
Your guests will enjoy your creative idea.

Love it when my customers share their ideas with me.
Here is an interesting one:
Liquify Chili Lime in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds and pour it over your popcorn.
Sure, you fingers will get all sticky, that's why they call this finger-licking good.

Berry Sauces from SUNSHINE FARM

5/10/2012

1 Comment

SUNSHINE FARM makes delicious berry sauces in the following flavours:
Royal Berry Sauce--a mix of Wild Blueberries, Wild Blackberries, Strawberries, Raspberries and Red Currants--all berries grown on our farm.
Wild Blueberry,
Wild Blackberry,
Raspberry.
These sauces are much lower in sugar than jam and only contain about 30% sugar compared to a jam of the same flavour. There are NO other additives included.
Use the sauce over waffles, pancakes, ice cream, in yoghurt, on cottage cheese or include them in your smoothie.
If you like things more savory, try them on backed brie---Royal Berry Blend was the winner there--cook your chicken in Raspberry Sauce or use them as a side for any roast.

Gnocchi with Pesto

4/24/2012

3 Comments

My all time favorite

Ingredients for two persons:

2 package of gnocchi,
2-3 tbsp. SUNSHINE FARM Pesto,
Freshly ground parmesan

Heat water in a large pot to a boil, add gnocchi, reduce heat. Fresh gnocchi are best but dried ones from the store work
as well, they need only 3 minutes more cooking time until gnocchi float to the top
and are done soft but not mushy.

Drain, add pesto to pasta, mix
well. Serve and sprinkle with parmesan as much as you like. For me, the more the
better.
Check out the comment, Maggie Baker was so kind to include her Gnocchi- from-scratch recipe. It is worth making them from scratch!

Ingredients:

1 side of salmon or 2 large pieces of salmon, skin on,

2 tbsp SUNSHINE FARM Pesto

Wash Salmon and place on a well soaked cedar plank or slightly greased baking sheet with skin down. Spread pesto evenly over salmon using the excess basil oil from the jar as well; press pesto lightly into the salmon with the back of your spoon.

Bake salmon at 350 degrees F
