Ravenswood is the neighborhood on the northside of Chicago where Spoken Cafe is located. We help one of our customers who's lived in the neighborhood for nearly 30 years, harvest his pear tree in his backyard. The tree was planted when he moved into the house and every other year ( pear trees typically only bear an appreciable amount of fruit every other year) we help him harvest the whole tree in one day. He takes half of the pears and we take the other half. Since the pears are donated by him we donate a portion of the proceeds to a charity of his choice. These get peeled and cored and cooked down in the slow cooker over the course of several nights. Ingredients: Pears, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, stem ginger (sugar, water, fresh ginger, lemon juice), nutmeg, American spicebush berry, salt.

Raspberries as well as blackberries are one of those things we can get a lot of mileage from. So the first run of the raspberries through the "Mr. Squeezo" food mill separates away all of the seeds and cores of the berries. The fruit pulp yielded from that makes our seedless Raspberry Jam. The leftover seeds and cores are then worked in a sieve to extract all of the juice to make raspberry jelly. The remaining seeds and cores are then cooked down in sugar water for a raspberry simple syrup and after we strain out all of the solids, the seeds and cores are then left to soak in vinegar for a year or so to extract all of the final essence for raspberry vinegar to then use in vinaigrettes for salads.!! Ingredients: Deseeded raspberry puree, organic cane sugar, pectin, lemon juice.
