Sandy Breininger of Sandra Lee’s Country Goodness wears a multitude of hats. She is a Nurse/RN and she works in retail, in addition to being a Master Food Preserver who makes and sells homemade jams and other good things to eat in her home state of Wisconsin.
As a jam maker who uses Pomona’s Pectin, Sandy proudly proclaims on her website: “My specialty foods are canned with low sugar, no corn syrup, and natural ingredients. My products are tasty and can be made to fit special needs or requests.”
To Sandy, her jars are jewels. She finds it incredibly rewarding to set jar after jar in a neat row on her pantry shelf – months of good eating – and she thinks you will find the same deep satisfaction in putting up your own food.
As a Master Food Preserver, she is on a mission to teach others safe and proper food preservation techniques. As a young girl, Sandy watched and helped her grandmother can; then as a farmer’s wife and mother in Richland County, she started making jam and has never stopped. When she told her Extension Agent that she didn’t like all that sugar in jam, her agent recommended Pomona’s Pectin. Sandy tried it and was hooked.
Sandy has sold her products at farmers’ markets and craft fairs in Wisconsin, and has built up a clientele for whom she prepares custom orders, ranging from canned meats and soups to jams, jellies, sauces, and salsas. Her simple and beautiful website, Sandra Lee’s Country Goodness, will give you the details about her classes and how to order from her.
