SMILING GOAT JAMS, LLC
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FLORIDA

My love and interest in great food and flavor combinations was encouraged while working as a cook and lead in menu development within Winter Park and Orlando restaurants over the last 15+ years. This led down the path to an interest in preserves. Being a Florida native – I enjoy the hot weather, extended growing seasons, and loads of fruit varietals available to us. I began making jams and jellies for friends and family and graciously received numerous compliments to take the next step with the jam biz. I believe all good foods start with good ingredients – which is why I focus on only clean, basic ingredients. Just good food, no additives and concentrates. In addition to using fruit from local farms, this DAMN GOOD JAM utilizes less sugar than most commercial jams plus does not include any chemical or added natural pectin. Instead, all Smiling Goat Jams have a longer cook time which pulls out all the natural sugars to intensify the jam flavor. Shrubs are drinking vinegars. These concentrated vinegars can be used to enhance a cocktail or create a non-alcoholic shrub soda. Vinegar in cocktails basically has the same effect salt does in food – it enhances the flavors. As for shrub sodas, this is a healthy (and more flavorful) alternative to a regular soda pop and provides you with an exciting non-alcoholic drink. Depending on your preference – only 0.5 to 2 oz are needed per beverage. No more need for a boring beverage. Citrus, local honey, juniper, coriander, and chamomile provide a perfect blend that creates a flavor packed experience with this shrub. The silky-smooth texture of the honey gives way to the spice of juniper as you sip the shrub while the sweet chamomile lingers on the finish. Sip this with any spirit, add it to champagne for the coolest mimosa around, or simply add soda water for a soda unlike any other. Any way you present it, you are sure to be the bee’s knees of the party with this shrub. The St. Augustine native pepper, the datil pepper, provides a perfectly pleasant spice to this refreshing cucumber shrub. The fresh, cooling cucumber flavor and the subtle datil pepper spice on the finish are brought together with the crisp flavor of the rice wine vinegar. Perfect for a spicy margarita!
