Cherry Berry Nut Snack Mix
Get out of here, GORP, this is a snack for the next generation. Dried cherries and blueberries are mixed up with “sprouted” almonds, cashews and walnuts. Sprouted nuts are easier to digest, their nutrients more accessible to the gut. Instead of frying or roasting, the nuts are dehydrated which gives them an audible and satisfying crunch.
We all know how healthy and energy packed a handful of dried fruits and nuts can be, but we rarely get a medley that tastes this good. Stash wherever you need a bit of a personal punch of protein or serve in a bowl as part of a cheeseboard.
Red Jacket Applesauce
Red Jacket Orchards started as a family-owned apple farm in the Finger Lakes Region of New York in 1958. Three generations later, they’re growing hundreds of acres of apples and summer fruit with a dedication to sharing the delicious bounty of New York produce.
For this applesauce, they use a mix of tart and sweet apples. That’s it. There are no preservatives and no added sugar. Just apples. And it tastes darn good! It has a deep, pleasant apple flavor that lingers. It’s not too sweet, making it a great fit for eating straight from the jar or serving alongside more savory options like pork chops.
