Even though cukes didn’t have a good year, the peppers were banner! I had to come up with something to do with all the beautiful peppers I picked…. Introducing the beginning of the hot sauce line!

Three down, two more to go!
Left: a mild fruity (peachy)
Middle: a medium citrusy poblano
Right: a hot smoky piri piri inspired

Now they just need names! Any suggestions?? 😊🤞

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted so let me catch everyone up on my summer - I’ve been canning my heart out! 😂
Cucumbers were not as prolific this year but I managed to pick about 1700 lbs for pickles and have a good supply of those on hand - all the favorites and a couple new varieties - stay tuned!
I’ve also made several flavors of jams/jellies, and I’ll be rolling out some hot sauces (think Tabasco… not salsa) and pickled quail eggs.

My first Market will be Sept 26 - KolacheFest in Hallettsville followed by Seafair in Rockport the following weekend Oct 1-4.
Stay tuned for further market updates as they near!

I can’t wait to get back on the road and see everyone again!

April 17-19 The Pickled Baker will be at Rockport Fulton Market Days! This is the last market I’ll be attending in the area until Seafair in Oct - my gardens are planted and summer is the time I rebuild inventory of pickles etc.
Come see me next weekend to stock up on pickles etc snd get some sourdough bread!
Can’t wait to see everyone there!

I am set up in Rockport this weekend! I brought 200 loaves of sourdough! 🤪

Come by and get some goods while supplies last!

I tried a new sourdough flavor yesterday - Cheddar Bay! I tried to cut some corners and ended up with poor gluten development and flatter loaves but they taste amazing! THE perfect loaf for seafood - clam chowder, shrimp salad sandwiches, fish sandwiches, crab dip, ….. 😁
I know what I need to do next time for better loaf structure. 🤪😁
