Just for the fun of it, and to promote our favorite jelly, I’ll be at the Gift Shop in Rosemary Tree this week. There will be samples available of all the jellies, jams and cranberry sauce.
Oh yes, you may want that sauce for a special holiday meal. Not the jellied thing with the lines from the can still embedded in it. These are organic cranberries sent to us from Maine. No we don’t raise cranberries in Florida, however, I do make the sauce with a special recipe here locally. At any rate, I’m having fun this week and hope to see many friends and make new acquaintances.
I’ll be there every day but Wednesday. I am at Lake Ella Growers Market that day. I tried to talk Fred into taking my place for the day but he gave me “the look” so don’t expect to see him there.
Do you need a stocking stuffer? All of our jellies and jams come in the 2.9 ounce size that makes a special surprise and meaningful gift. Mayhaw Jelly is really a southern specialty. You’re certainly not going to find it anywhere but in this general area. North Florida and South Georgia are the right temperate zones for this rare delight. It does grow across the states into Texas. The only other place these trees grow is in China. So if you want something southern and unique give Mayhaw Jelly made in Jefferson County, Florida.
I’m going to make a proposal to the powers-that-be to declare Jefferson County as the Mayhaw Capitol of Florida. Let’s see, is that Jefferson County or the State of Florida I have to make that proposition to? Well, I’ll find out and get it done.
