I specialize in preserving local (often from my own property!), seasonal produce by making jams, jellies, marmalades, and pie fillings that can be enjoyed year-round. My homestead kitchen is licensed by the State of New Hampshire, and I love developing recipes that are delicious, versatile, and a bit unexpected. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Some of my favorite products include Chai-Spiced Apple Butter, Corn Cob Jelly, Blueberry-Peach Jam, Green Tomato Marmalade, and my signature Lilac Jelly. My inventory fluctuates with the seasonal availability of local produce, but I&#8217;m always happy to chat via email or social media about what I have and how I can get it to you!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BurnsLakeFarm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"269\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2022\/09\/burns-lake-copy.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27246 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2022\/09\/burns-lake-copy.webp 269w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2022\/09\/burns-lake-copy-187x200.webp 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Burns Lake Farm, LLC<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maple Syrup<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Catherine Burns \u201980<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LOCATION: Whitefield, NH  |  SHIPPING: Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BurnsLakeFarm\" target=\"_blank\">Order Online<\/a>  |  CONTACT:  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:sburnsz9000@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">sburnsz9000@gmail.com<\/a>, (603) 837-9000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>1 Gallon $58.00<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>1 Half Gallon $32.00<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>1 Quart $20.00<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>1 Pint $12.00<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>1 Half Pint $6.00<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/julestomatosauce.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2023\/10\/lineup-1500-900x538.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30796 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2023\/10\/lineup-1500-900x538.webp 900w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2023\/10\/lineup-1500-400x239.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2023\/10\/lineup-1500-768x459.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2023\/10\/lineup-1500-1051x628.jpg 1051w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/alumni\/files\/2023\/10\/lineup-1500.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jules Tomato Sauce<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Jarred Tomato Sauce<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jordan Roth \u201991<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LOCATION: Glen Rock, NJ  |  SHIPPING: Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/julestomatosauce.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/jargoods.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Order Online<\/a> | CONTACT: <a href=\"mailto:sales@jargoods.com\">sales@jargoods.com<\/a>, (917) 402-4700<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Jule\u2019s tomato sauce (re-branded Jar Goods) was first crafted by Pa Vitelli in the kitchen of Jule&#8217;s Italian restaurant in 1962 (Jersey City, NJ).
