The Chef's Pantry

The Blackberry Patch Company, of  Thomasville, Georgia, produces small batch, naturally flavored Gourmet fruit toppings from the ripest fruit of the seasons. Each Bottling is made with all natural, fresh, ripe berries, natural cane sugar and sometimes the addition or lemon juice or other real flavorings or spices.

The seasonal flavors, such as Blueberry, Blackberry and Raspberry contain no artificial ingredients and develop a true fruit flavor, from slow, small batch cooking style. The ripe, bright flavors are evident, without the overbearing sweet, associated with many larger production toppings. The consistency is that of syrup, so that may also be a surprise to some, who are used to the thick, “goopy” spoon sauces of some companies.

 

The flavor, bright, and color, true, are visible in the neat, tall jar, which has a home style, parchment colored label and little neck tag attached, ready for a gift, like /grandma used to do. I found the toppings good for pound cake and ice cream and also for things such as granola, pancakes and fresh yogurt, the natural ripeness, not lingering with any “sweet-bitter” after tones.

The Gourmet Topping from The Blackberry Patch has all the flavor and goodness, without the thorns. Get them before the season runs out.
