Here in DC, Sunday was a gorgeous day. The Dupont Fresh Farm Market opened at 9:00 am for the first time this season (it used to be 10:00 am). By 9:01 it was teeming with shoppers, all grateful for spring. Although it's sunny outside, we'll have to be a bit patient for spring produce to arrive. That is why this strawberry jam from Toigo Orchards was an irresistible market purchase. Not to mention that it was a bargain at $4 bucks a jar. The jam is sweet, but not sugary, and the brandy introduces a bit of tang and depth. I don't know about you, but I like seeds in my strawberry jam and there are plenty in this jar. I like it so much I keep looking for an excuse to eat toast. Toast for dinner? Yes, please.
