Blake Hill Preserves\u2019 Award-Winning Range of Chutneys, Jams and Marmalades Now OU Kosher Certified<\/b><\/p>\n
Blake Hill Preserves, producers of award-winning, all-natural chutneys, jams and marmalades in historic Grafton Vermont is proud to announce its entire line of gourmet preserves is now certified kosher by the Orthodox Union.<\/p>\n
Third generation English preserve makers uniquely combine Vicky\u2019s family traditions of jam making with her husband Joe\u2019s Mediterranean culinary palate spanning southern Spain, North Africa and the Middle East, to create some of the finest chutneys, jams and marmalades on the market today.<\/p>\n
Good Food Awards, the organization that sets the nation\u2019s standards for taste, authenticity and social responsibility, has just honored Blake Hill Preserves with three finalists for 2014 — Blake Hill\u2019s \u201cPlum & Fennel\u201d chutney, \u201cRaspberry & Hibiscus\u201d jam, and \u201cGrapefruit, Lemon & Thyme\u201d marmalade (winners to be announced January 16). This is the first time in the history of the awards that a preserves maker has achieved such broad recognition across its entire range.<\/p>\n
Blake Hill Preserves is passionate about providing its customers with the most incredibly full-flavored, fruity preserves that are completely all natural. Being a true artisanal preserves maker, every jar Blake Hill is made with only the finest fruits picked at their peak of perfection, and ingredients are carefully layered in during the cooking process and slow-cooked to maximize evaporation and hence concentrate flavors further. \u201cWe believe every jar should taste fresh and wholesome, showcasing the top-quality fruits used in every batch \u2013 just like true homemade, small batch cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blake Hill\u2019s mission to produce only the very best preserves also ensures you will never find any artificial ingredients in its jars, or other ingredients simply added to \u201cbulk-up\u201d contents, speed up cooking, or compensate for less-than-perfect fruit. You will therefore never see commercial pectin, citric acid, colorings, artificial preservatives, thickeners or flavor enhancers in its ingredients list.<\/p>\n
The Orthodox Union was an easy choice for Blake Hill when considering an agency for kosher supervision. Joe explains, \u201cWe believe in exemplary standards in everything we do, and we wanted to work with an organization with the same core standards. We have been incredibly impressed by OU\u2019s meticulous supervision and efficient administrative processes, and believe that providing our customers with the confidence that the OU certification logo embodies is an excellent investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vicky adds, \u201cWe have been thrilled with the reception Blake Hill Preserves is receiving in the kosher market. We love many of the foods and flavors so popular in kosher cooking and this is therefore a natural market for us to serve. We are receiving phenomenal feedback at customer tasting events, proving the popularity of our chutney, jam and marmalade varieties for the kosher palate, and we are developing additional unique varieties in 2014 to provide our customers with a fresh, exciting choice of preserves on an ongoing basis.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
