Organic Garlic & Berries for Christmas

I love gar­lic. I try and eat some at least every other day.

I love berries too, but I have a hard time find­ing great berries off sea­son. At least until I found August’s Harvest.

Located just 20 min­utes north of Strat­ford they’ve been grow­ing gar­lic since 1991. They recently started grow­ing Saska­toon berries.

Honey & Gar­lic for Your Throat

A famous musi­cian friend of mine once told me that as soon as she feels
a tin­gle in her throat she pre­pares a secret gar­lic cure.

She takes a few cloves of gar­lic and cov­ers them with some raw, unpas­teur­ized, honey. She lets the gar­lic and honey sit, so the gar­lic infuses the honey with its goodness.

The longer it sits the bet­ter.
Prefer­ably over night.

Then she eats a clove of the honey gar­lic, and another one an hour later. She sips the honey too, just like cough syrup. To me the honey gar­lic syrup is way more palat­able than cough syrup

Soon your sore throat, or cough will be gone.

The key ingre­di­ent is the gar­lic. The organic gar­lic and shal­lots at August’s Har­vest are cer­ti­fied organic from OCPP and CNG.

Organic, locally grown gar­lic might sound like an odd Christ­mas gift, but it could be that per­fect sur­prise stock­ing stuffer for the Foodie on your list!

Saska­toon Berries

Saskatoon’s have a pur­ple hue with a smokey-almond taste.
August’s Har­vest are famous for their Saska­toon Berry pre­serves.

The Saska­ton Berries In Cas­sis are delec­table when served over ice-cream, sher­bet, yoghurt, kefir, or cheese­cake. Deli­cious rolled in crepes with whipped cream & pistachios.

All of this, and more, is avail­able on August’s Har­vest web site.
