			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanksgiving is upon us, and our <a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/thanksgiving-jam-2-pack">Thanksgiving Jam 2-Pack</a> will add a festive touch to your feast! With one jar of our <a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/spiced-cranberry-pluot-conserve">Cranberry-Pluot Jam</a> and one jar of our <a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/rosemary-damson-plum-jam">Rosemary-Damson Jam</a>, this 2-pack enriches your favorite Thanksgiving foods, from turkey to pumpkin pie to greens.</p>
<p><a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/thanksgiving-jam-2-pack-1"><img class="size-full wp-image-1682 aligncenter" title="Thanksgiving 2-Pack" src="http://bluechairfruit.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Thanksgiving-2-Pack.jpg" alt="Thanksgiving 2 Pack A Thanksgiving Jam Recipe!" width="400" height="342" /></a></p>
<p>We recently called on our Twitter community to share their favorite ways to enjoy our Thanksgiving flavors -- and boy, did they deliver! From incorporating cranberry jam into stuffing to smearing it on a leftover turkey sandwich, the ideas had us salivating.</p>
<p>There was one suggestion, however, that really intrigued our palates; Suz (Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/suzhowells">@suzhowells</a>) squished her recipe down to 140 characters: "Toss acorn squash wedges w/melted Cranberry jam, minced red chili &amp; garlic, S&amp;P. Roast @450, 25 min." We sent her our Thanksgiving Jam 2-Pack straightaway, and she sent us the full recipe:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Jam-Glazed Acorn Squash</strong></p>
<p>Preheat oven to 450.</p>
<p>Sweat 1-2 cloves of finely minced garlic in 1T olive oil over low heat until fragrant &amp; translucent.  Add one minced red serrano, kung pao or thai chili.  Add 1/3 -1/2 C jam (I'm thinking the Rosemary Damson would be awesome.  I've used your <a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/bergamot-marmalade">Bergamot</a> for this in the past). Heat until jam melts and blends with garlic &amp; chili.</p>
<p>Wash, seed and slice 1-2 acorn squash into wedges. Put in bowl with warm jam mixture.  Toss until all the pieces are coated, place in a single layer on a 1/2 sheet lined with parchment. Salt &amp; pepper generously.  Roast for about 25 minutes, or until squash is fork tender and carmelized.</p>
<p>Caution: This is addictive!</p></blockquote>
<p>YUM. Thanks, Suz! Anyone else have a unique way to use our jams for Thanksgiving? <strong><a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/thanksgiving-jam-2-pack">Get your own Thanksgiving Jam 2-Pack now</a>!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blue Chair Fruit is excited to announce new, exciting, delicious holiday flavors, just in time for Thanksgiving! We've been cooking away in the kitchen to make some stellar and seasonally-appropriate preserves for all of your holiday eating needs. There's even a special two-pack offer!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-751" title="rachel-10 web" src="http://bluechairfruit.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/rachel-10-web.jpeg" alt=" New Blue Chair Fruit Jam Flavors for Thanksgiving!" width="302" height="454" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">With no further ado (although these jams really do deserve all the accolades we can bestow), Blue Chair Fruit's Holiday Season Collection:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/fig-conserve-with-candied-orange-allspice" target="_blank">Fig Conserve with Candied Orange &amp; Allspice</a>: An earthy, spicy conserve, perfect for a pre-dinner cheese plate</li>
<li><a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/spiced-cranberry-pluot-conserve" target="_blank">Cranberry Jam with Pluot &amp; Vanilla</a>: A sweet take on cranberry sauce, and very breakfast-appropriate</li>
<li><a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/thanksgiving-cranberry-sauce" target="_blank">Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce</a>: For true cranberry lovers who want intense cranberry flavor</li>
<li><a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/early-girl-tomato-damson-jam-1" target="_blank">Early Girl Tomato &amp; Damson Jam</a>: Perfectly balanced between sweet and tart; we're thinking it will liven up leftover turkey</li>
<li><a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/golden-sweet-apricot-jam" target="_blank">Golden Sweet Apricot Jam</a>: A little taste of summer for chilly mornings</li>
<li><a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/east-coast-blueberry-jam" target="_blank">East Coast Blueberry Jam</a>: Just plain delicious!</li>
</ul>
<p>Our two cranberry preserves are both delicious and we just can't choose a favorite; as a result,<strong> we're offering them to you as a <a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/thanksgiving-cranberry-gift-pack" target="_blank">Thanksgiving Cranberry Two-Pack</a>, for a special price of $22</strong>! We think Thanksgiving is all about eating as many cranberries as possible, and this is our way of helping you accomplish that goal. Tart Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce plus sweet Cranberry Jam with Pluot &amp; Vanilla is the perfect combination to keep all for yourself or to generously share with your Thanksgiving host or hostess.</p>
<p>We are also excited to announce the return of the much-requested, very loved <a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/spiced-bourbon-tomato-conserve" target="_blank">Spiced Bourbon-Tomato Conserve</a>! This may be our best batch yet, and its spiced accents are perfect for this time of year.</p>
<p>And although we say it often, we think all of these new flavors really warrant our using our favorite phrase: <strong>YUM!!!</strong></p>

<p>We have been having a great time at our farmers' markets these past few weeks, and are busy bringing on some fabulous new staff at our markets (new About Us profiles coming soon)! We are also loving Fall here at the Blue Chair Fruit kitchen, where we are in the process of making our Quince-Rose Geranium Marmalade and a pear and quince marmalade! Also in the works: a pear and dried fig conserve with rosemary and black pepper! We also just posted our phenomenally yummy <a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/concord-grape-vanilla-jam" target="_self">Concord Grape &amp; Vanilla Jam</a> and our <a href="http://shop.bluechairfruit.com/products/plummy-meyer-lemon-marmalade" target="_self">Plummy Meyer Lemon Marmalade</a> - our very last early Fall preserves!</p>
<p>We will also be doing several jam and marmalade tastings around San Francisco and the East Bay over the next several days, in addition to our normal farmers' market schedule. We will be offering our special Thanksgiving and yuletide flavors, in addition to limited-quantity flavors. For details, please see our Where to Find Us page. We hope to see you soon!</p>
