Nevermore Jam & Bleak November

Salutations & Greetings! It has been awhile tho' this does not mean Pink Slip Jam has been hibernating. In keeping with the month of November & our appreciation for Norman, our resident corvid friend, we have a limited supply of Nevermore Jam available ~ this is an intense combination of blackberries, blueberries, & Doug fir tips syrup...it is deep, dark, and perfect for morning scones, muffins, and toast during these dark days leading up to the Solstice. It may not be the first flavor concoction that comes to mind this time of year, yet I am convinced it will get your day off to an unusual start! This jam is made at the peak of blackberry season (which is quite a ways off!), so lay in a supply now for the Winter is nigh!

The best place to pick up your jams currently is the incredible Bernadette Breu on 6th & Hawthorne here in Portland, OR, home of some magnificent crows & ravens.

Nevermore

Norman, our resident corvid pal is noisily perched in the Doug fir tree reminding me it is time for his namesake jam to be made. He is clever & never misses a beat. In case you didn't know, this concoction is a combination of organic blueberries, blackberries, and Doug fir tip syrup. So very Northwest, so very versatile, and oh-so-Norman. If you think you have tried every imaginable type of jam, think again...you will 'nevermore' feel this way. My favorite way to taste this is with a spoon, altho' scones, buttermilk biscuits, and English muffins are a big hit. I suggest a pot of English breakfast tea, some cream, and a good read. Avoid the news. Concentrate instead upon some poetry.
