The Leaning Tower of Peaches on Providence Rd

About February...

3/9/2023
I guess I slept through February, because I did not post one thing on my Facebook/Providence Preserves site. Looking back at the calendar, I see we only had one sale event at one of the middle schools in Dallas. Reed MS highlighted several minority businesses at the conclusion of their Black History play in the gym. Although it was only a 2 hour event, it went by very fast. While answering their questions about my business, I saw 2 full trays of samples get devoured before my eyes! Sixth graders still run everywhere they go, 7th graders still walk and hold hands because they are in love and the 8th graders think they are too mature to be bothered with any of the underclassmen. It really was a lot of fun. We took several pics but due to privacy we will not post them without parental permission. However, take my word for it, middle schoolers are still very high energy AND...I am so thankful I am a retiree.

Aunt Elsie Tribute

1/25/2023
These pickles are the notorious Aunt Elsie Pickles. They were made and named in her honor. She was one of my mothers' six sisters and the "spiciest" of all of them. Aunt Elsie was also among the first persons I saw canning. Our family loved her sweet & spicy pickles. She never shared her recipe, but after several trials, I think I just about nailed it! These crunchy pickles are only made for and given to family around Christmas. A card/warning always accompany the pickles reminding the cousins the pickles are very hot & spicy just like our auntie.

New Day, New Year, New Beginnings

1/5/2023
We're almost at the end of the first week of a brand-new year (2023). Providence Preserves will not be making any New Years' Resolutions. But there are some principals we will try to continue to honor and live by this year.  Let's help each other remember:
1. To know the difference between working hard for something we don't care about that leads to stress versus working hard for something we love that shows passion.
2. To know that speaking is like using toothpaste. You can squirt the words out, but, you cannot put them back in once they're said. 
And finally...
3. Know that God has plans, purposes and promises for you & me. We shouldn't measure His unlimited power by our limited expectations.

Week of December 11-17

12/14/2022
We've had 1 event to cancel this month due to bad weather and I'm not too sure about one of the 2 events scheduled for this week. This Thurs, 12/15, we, along with 10 other SENIOR vendors, will be at the Senior Craft Market at the DeSoto Senior Center, (inside event) YEEAAHH!!!, from 10 til 2.  Duncan Switch is scheduled for this Saturday. Hmmmm, we'll have to wait and see. The weather is pretty chilly right now and Saturday ain't looking much better. The Duncanville Chamber of Commerce will have the final decision on that one... In the mean time, we will prep as if everything is a go!
We will have gift boxes and individual jar sales. Looking forward to meeting new people and saying hello to returning customers.

Most recent entry since July

10/24/2022
It sure has been a minute since we blogged on the website!
Our apologies...we do have a good excuse; two actually.  Between making products and doing shows, we've had little time to get to the computer and post on the blog. Since our last post, we have been in the commercial kitchen making late season preserves, participating in several markets, food shows, tastings and webinars galore! We are thankful for all the opportunities as exhausting as some of them have been. Well, the holiday season is almost upon us and Providence Preserves is cranking it up again!
In cooperation with a few other Black, female-owned food businesses, we will be offering corporate level gifting this season. Stay tuned!!!

    Greetings

    I believe there is something very special about making 
    preserves. Although it seems labor intense to some people it is pure joy for me! It's almost therapeutic. I love to stand and stir a boiling pot containing fresh fruit. The scent is tantalizing! But, better than cooking the product  is seeing the end result of filled jars with delicious goodness. I hope you will enjoy eating the jams and pickles as much as I enjoy making them.
    O taste and see.....
