๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซ™๐Ÿฅณโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ FRESH-PICKED PEACH BUTTERโ€™S COMING BACK FOR 2024 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซ™๐Ÿฅณโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ AND itโ€™s coming back BETTER! ๐Ÿ˜ƒย ย How could it POSSIBLY be any better, you may askโ‰๏ธ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜‰ย ย For the first time and, hopefully, from here on out ๐Ÿคž, Iโ€™m going to be using Ohio-grown peaches from Branstool Orchards ๐Ÿ‘โฃ๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘ย 

Iโ€™m honestly not sure why ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ and uber embarrassed ๐Ÿซฃ by the fact that Iโ€™ve never used local peaches before. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ  Itโ€™s so unlike me and such a no-brainer that Iโ€™m sort of flummoxed. ๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿคจ Well, I finally got my mashed potato brain ๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿง  in gear โš™๏ธ๐Ÿคช and Iโ€™m SO flipping excited about this gorgeous โœจ ingredient change. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿงก

So, without further ado, the preorder list for your jars of Fresh-Picked Peach Butter is OPENโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซ™๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซ™๐Ÿ‘  Each 8oz jar will be $8.00 (same price as in 2022 ๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿค‘).  Payment is due before delivery, which is usually late Summer (August/September). ๐ŸŒป Having a preorder list gives me an approximate number of pounds of peaches Iโ€™ll need to purchase.  This guarantees that Iโ€™ll have enough jars available for you, based on what you think youโ€™ll want. โœ… You arenโ€™t locked into purchasing anything. ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ”’  I usually have a few jars left over to offer to any latecomers but they sell out fast and I canโ€™t make any promises, if youโ€™re not on the list. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Sooooโ€ฆhow many jars do you want this year? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿงฎ ๐Ÿซ™๐Ÿซ™๐Ÿซ™ Leave a comment or message me to get on the list now! ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿ‘โ˜บ๏ธย 

๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒธ FYI:  if you were on my preorder list for the 2023 batch that wasnโ€™t ๐Ÿ˜…,  Iโ€™ll be reaching out to you soon to see, if you want me to put you down for those missing jars this year. ๐Ÿค—

introducing Wooden Spoon Sweets!


Iโ€™ve so many fond memories of hanging out in my grandmaโ€™s farmhouse kitchenโ€ฆwatching her make delicious homemade candy ๐Ÿฌ , constantly stirring the pot with her big, wooden spoon ๐Ÿฅ„ , while she talked about her life on the farm & the current gossip sheโ€™d โ€œaccidentallyโ€ ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿคญ overheard on the party line (shared telephone landline โ˜Ž๏ธ, for all you youngsters ๐Ÿ˜†) she shared with her neighbors in the little, West Virginia hollow she called home. I can also wax nostalgic about sitting in a church basement, as the church ladies spooned melted, pastel colored, candy melts into plastic molds shaped like baby chicks ๐Ÿฅ, bunnies ๐Ÿฐ, flowers ๐ŸŒผ, & crosses. โœ๏ธ They added paper sticks to make Easter lollipops ๐Ÿญ that theyโ€™d sell to the congregation members to help fund various church projects. ๐Ÿ’ฐโ›ช๏ธ I distinctly remember the sweet creaminess of the candy & the way the paper sticks would fall apart & youโ€™d end up pulling paper bits out of your mouth. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฃ

Memories like this are what lead me down the road to trying my hand at making homemade candy. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Because Iโ€™m pretty much obsessed ๐Ÿคช with trying to spread love out into the universe ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒŒ thru my everyday actions &, of course, my baking, the first molds I chose were heart-shaped. โค๏ธ I bought my molds last fall ๐Ÿ, so finally being ready to introduce my candy now was definitely fortuitous ๐Ÿ€, especially with Valentineโ€™s Day coming up. ๐Ÿ’˜

Iโ€™m simultaneously excited ๐Ÿคฉ & a bit nervous ๐Ÿ˜… to introduceโ€ฆ Wooden Spoon Sweets! ๐Ÿฅณ Each candy, on average, weighs a very indulgent, meant-for-sharing 5+ ounces (approximately 3โ€x 3โ€x 2โ€) & is jam-packed with mix-ins. Using a combination of real chocolate ๐Ÿซ , a variety naturally flavored candy morsels (no candy melts here! ๐Ÿ˜˜), & a myriad of all natural mix-ins ๐Ÿฅœ๐ŸŒฐ๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿ“๐Ÿซ๐Ÿซšโšช๏ธ, Iโ€™ve created 10 flavors I think youโ€™ll love ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿคž, with tons more flavors to come, if sales warrant. โ˜บ๏ธ
