J. Searcy Canning Co. (Apple Butter, Sweet Potato Bread & B&B Gift Baskets)

Greetings friends (its November, so in my book its now acceptable to use holiday jargon)!  

Well, I suppose you could call this post the "launch" of the J. Searcy Canning Co.  I use the term "launch" loosely because many of my friends and family have been purchasing and gifting my homemade goods for years....and it was that same group of folks who encouraged me to make things more "official" by slapping a name on it!  My canning hobby reached an all time peak this year and with the start of Eat. Drink. Nourish., J. Searcy Canning Co. seemed like a natural next step.  I continue to be amazed at the level of interest and feedback I have received since starting this blog - thank you (its definitely still a work in progress)!  So I guess my point is, while I'm excited about where this little path might take me, my goal remains the same: buy fresh/seasonal produce from local farmers I know to help support my tiny world and make delicous / healthy foods for my family and others - eat, share & repeat.

So without further ado...I'm thrilled to present to you a preview of my homemade holiday product line, including Spiced Apple Butter, Sweet Potato Bread and Bread & Butter Gift Baskets (please see below for photos, details and pricing).  I will be working on additional gift basket ideas and canned goods for the holidays....so stay tuned, more to come!

Each basket comes with a 1/2 pint (8oz) jar of Spiced Apple Butter, one mini-loaf (approximately 6in) of Sweet Potato Bread and I include an "edible extra" in every basket (such as cooking herbs [as shown in above baskets - rosemary and sage] or toasted pumpkin seeds, nuts, etc.); edible extras vary per basket depending on what I have available or growing in my garden
