While i was in the grocery store looking for a specific type of flour, i passed by the pop tarts. i could not help myself to read the ingredients and it sort of made me stand still for a long while. Kellogg's I'm not saying anything wrong about your company ..but really..where is the proper nutrition and why so many ingredients.
Well now i was on another tear..making another version. So i set out once again and gathered my supplies then headed home to do some experimenting.
I will admit i have a passion for making recipes that sort of instill more simplicity and boost natural flavors. When i think back about how my business started and the whole support local, it really makes me upset that the whole country is supporting large corporations that do not have a clue who you are. This whole aspect really sort of shocks me, especially when we are giving out samples at shows. I cannot tell you the number of times folks read my nametag and exclaim..why you are Mrs. Picky..of course..folks cannot believe that i am there representing my company. I do have friends and family that help pass out samples, but..if you love what you do, who better than to pass out samples.
Well i went to work perfecting the tart recipes and was so thrilled with the results. First of all i know what is in my MmmMarmalades and using these as fillings is sort of added value. The pastry crust not only looks wonderful but is a delight in the flavor and is not bulked out with preservatives or fillers.
It seems that one thing always leads to another and for this i am very grateful. I'm grateful for folks that read labels, folks that come up to me at shows and share recipe ideas, our youth for giving honest opinions, older folks for sharing their wisdom and most of all, large corporations for keeping the challenge alive of driving me to make their products just a little more simplier.
Remember until next time What " Can" you do..
