New Jam and Jelly Jars

Above you will see the new taller jars for our Jam, Jellies and Fruit Butters. We also have some Sugar Free, Made with Splenda. Each jar is 8 oz. just like the flatter ones but instead of being the wide mouth jars, they are the regular size. These make much nicer looking jars. The jams, jellies and fruit butters can be seen much better. Annie's Accents Bakery has been switching to these taller jars since late last fall. Please check out my Ryze Page and my websites at http://anniesaccentsbakery.vstore.ca or go to http://www.anniesaccentsbakery.net and click on the link that takes you to my vstore catalog.

Spring is finally here. Yesterday was Easter and we had sunshine, clouds, rain, sleet, and snow. I know that in Missouri they say if you don't like the weather just wait a little while and it will change. Today is a beautiful Spring day. We have sunshine and of course we have the March winds that we get each year at this time.

I hope that Everyone had a wonderful Easter.

St. Patrick's Day

It seems like spring today. The sun is shining and the temperature is supposed to get above 50 degrees. I think that the grass is beginning to start turning green but then St. Patrick's is right around the corner. Annie's Accents Bakery is getting in gear for it by making Shamrock cookies and also offering Green Jalapeno Pepper Jam. My great great grandparents on my great grandmother's side of the family came from County Cork in Ireland. We of course have Corned Beef on St. Patrick's Day. I have a Reuben Casserole just for St. Patrick's Day. Here it is

Reuben Casserole
16 oz. Sour Kraut
1 c. Sour Cream
1/2 c. Chopped Onion
1/2 c. Margarine
12 oz. can of Corned Beef
3/4 grated Swiss Cheese
1/2 lb loaf of Rye Bread
Thousand Island Dressing or Sandwich Spread (Optional)
Combine Kraut, sour cream and onion. Place in 8 X 8 X 2 pan. Crumble corn beef over mixture. Top with cheese and put bread crumbed up on top of cheese. Pour margarine over all and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. After the casserole has baked, I then add a layer of thousand Island Dressing or Sandwich Spread.
I hope that you enjoy St. Patrick's Day.
