What better way to celebrate the arrival of local, luscious strawberries and the arrival of long, warm summer evenings than with some chilled prosecco? A glass of this refreshing, sparkling wine topped off with a couple of fresh berries is truly delicious. And guess what . . . this same combination also makes an excellent jelly!

Carl's Jam Works:
Jamming for the Community!

Carl with Blue RibbonCongratulations to Carl Hammer, of Carl's Jam Works. He won first place for his White Peach Jam, made with Pomona’s Pectin, at the 2015 California State Fair.

And what does Carl do with his Blue-Ribbon winning jam? He donates it to Rebuilding Together Sacramento, where it is displayed in their office lobby with a suggested donation of $6 a jar or three jars for $15. Best of all, 100% of that donation goes toward keeping low-income homeowners in the Sacramento, California, area safe and healthy in their homes.
