Exciting new things on the horizon:

LRBC Apple Butter and Black Mission Fig Jams

In addition to specials, we've used this contemplative time to work on some canning, and I just whipped up a new batch of LRBC Apple Butter and do have a batch of Oregon Strawberry-Pinot Noir Jam in the works that should be processed tomorrow, for those of you that have inquired.

Joel has also been working on a new espresso so make sure to come and check that out. In the meantime, please enjoy this recipe for the Toasted Pine Nut Oil.


Toasted Pine Nut Oil
We're using this oil as a garnish for our homemade tomato soup this weekend but it would be a wonderful base to a salad dressing or paired with chicken or white fish.

1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1 clove garlic, minced
couple of sprigs fresh rosemary
pinch of kosher salt
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

combine ingredients in jar and seal. allow to marinate for at least two hours. (we let ours sit overnight in the fridge.)

strain (optional) and use to your heart's desire.
