We so enjoy our visits to the Franklin Farmers Market each Saturday morning eager to discover what our Tennessee Farmers have brought to market. My favorite time of each weekend is to cook and enjoy the farm fresh produce, free range eggs, jams and preserves, heirloom tomatoes, fresh dairy butter and the all natural meats that don’t contain hormones or antibiotics. I love the bolder flavors my taste buds get to experience when all my food is freshly picked and harvested.
This morning I was a little more excited about preparing breakfast because of what I found yesterday. Judy of Jones Mill Farm had her first Fig preserves, I love Fresh Fig Preserves! Now I have discovered one of those special finds-Judy had some Apple Jam. OMG!!!
Judy’s Apple Jam is the best Jam I’ve ever had. The symphony of flavor created from her Apples, Brown Sugar, Lemons, Ginger, Cloves and Nutmeg sent my taste buds into a tasting celebration! Such a wonderful balance of flavor and not overly sweet. And of course the Fig preserves were outstanding as ever.
So here’s a few pictures of my simple quick breakfast using farm fresh free range eggs from West Wind Farm, I love the color and flavor from fresh free range chicken eggs. And of course Judy’s sourdough rolls with the Apple Jam and Fig Preserves was just perfect to start my day!
Please share a comment if you enjoy cooking with farm fresh produce, baked goods and locally raised natural meats from the Franklin Farmers Market. Check out the pictures from Market Saturday’s.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I did! I have never had such incredible Apple Jam! I love the way Judy sliced the apples and they remained whole in the jam. I have not tried the jam over pound cake or vanilla ice cream yet but plan to soon. I even want to try it over free range grilled chicken. Thank you J.R. and Judy for the wonderful produce, baked goods, preserves and jams you bring to market each week!
