An In A Pickle Twist on the Monte Cristo

Our jams taste good with a water cracker and on an artisan bread ... but you haven't lived until you've tried a Monte Cristo ...in a pickle style!  We take a traditional sandwich ... fluff it up Monte Cristo-ish and add our seasonal jams.

Here's how you do it...

Take two slices of a hearty artisan country bread, add a slice of turkey, a slice of Black Forest ham and a slice of Swiss cheese.  Beat a couple of eggs and 1/2 cup of milk together and dip both sides of the sandwich in the egg mixture.  Over medium heat, melt butter and cook the dipped sandwich - turning once or until the sandwich is well-browned on both sides.  Cut the sandwich diagonally and sprinkle a light snow of confectioners' sugar on top with a plop of in a pickle jam like our lemony pear vanilla bean... yummy!  This is soooo good you'll want to make a few!


And while you're delicately chomping into that hunk of love ... think about this... Fort Worth will be welcoming a SECOND Foodie Truck/Trailer Park in April and in a pickle foods will be there.  The Cowtown Chow Down will be located on Main Street between downtown and the stockyards, and we'll be servin' up some splendiferous in a pickle foods for all our peeps... there'll be many other foodie trucks there along side our fancy food trailer... check it out and save the date ...  we'll keep you posted when we are on the road.

Pickle Peeps Contribute

Oooh Boy!  We've got a recipe here! Brian Clark, a pickle peep and friend... cooked up a little pulled pork, threw in some in a pickle sweet & spicy's and some other incredible ingredients and made these splendiferous burritos... Try 'em... We think you might like 'em!

Brian's Sweet & Spicy Burritos

The Fort Worth Food Park may soon have some company... there seems to be plans for the Cowtown Chow Down at 1100 N. Main St. ... We're checking it out here at in a pickle... love the idea of opportunities to roll with the Fancy Foodie in a pickle Truck.   

AND local Farmer's Markets are just around the corner... We'll see you on March 10 at White Rock Local Market for a little sweet and spicy time...  until then... have a burrito or call James at 817.584.5835 to try our pickles and jams!


  

Sweetness! Happy Valentine's

We were at a lovely party the other night and had a great little hors 'doeuvre... it was on a beautiful plate (presentation... presentation... presentation) and the plate was coated with cream cheese, a generous amount of caramel mixed with pecan halves was drizzled on top and slices of apples were generously arranged around the edges of the plate!  Very simple, quite good and it got us thinking... hmmm... here's one we haven't tried yet... but could be splendiferous (have you noticed we never get tired of that word).. How 'bout taking our Spicy Orange Lemon Marmalade and letting it dance with a medium Camembert and of course apple slices on the side... ummm... or taking our Apple Bourbon Cinnamon Jam slathering it over cream cheese and serving it up with water crackers or apple slices.  How's that for sweetness for the upcoming sweetest day of the year?... We're liking it... we may have to serve both!

You can buy our sweet jams, and all our other products this Valentine's Day for a sweet price of only $6.50 a jar... as you know if you've been reading this blog... our website is undergoing updates so give James a shout at 817.584.5835  to order right now... this deal is ONLY good through Valentine's Day!
