This Candied Crab Apple Tart is the perfect summer treat made from crab apples that you've foraged from your farm specifically for this recipe, obviously. But if you're normal and don't do that, a pink lady apple from your local farmers' market will do.

This dish is made from our heirloom crab apples lightly candied with our Applejack Vinegar and hard cider from @oldtowncidery in Wi******er Virginia, and the goat cheese buttercream is made with @fireflycheese “Merry Goat Round,” just up in PA.

Tired of the same old balsamic? The Applejack Vinegar can be used the same way an aged balsamic vinegar would be, with one distinct advantage; the flavors here are much more complex, pronounced, and versatile. You'll want to put this one on just about anything.

Applejack is traditionally an American spirit made by freeze-distilling a hard cider; basically freezing the liquid and allowing only the first 15-25% of the liquid to thaw, containing the majority of the alcohol. Fun fact: the same principle applies to vinegar - with the acetic acid, residual sugars and aromatics thawing first.

You see ginger root, we see new vinegars, sauces, and recipes.

We love to get our ginger locally from @farmfireside and Next Step Produce. The difference between imported ginger and local ginger is night and day. Local ginger is incredibly potent and will improve whatever you put it in. It really makes you wonder why you still buy those tiny brown ginger nuggets from the supermarket.

Thrilled to be included in The Wall Street Journal's roundup of cult vinegars! The ever-talented Jane Black chose out Butternut Squash Vinegar and described it as "a rare find and a perfect finish for carrots or other root vegetables roasted slowly in plenty of butter". We couldn't agree more (especially about the butter).

We're addressing the age-old question...soup or salad? Lucky for you this dish is right in between, taking corn, butter, and corn starch to make "dumplings" and then pairing it with peak summer fruits and vegetables like zucchini, squash, shallots, tomatoes, and seared peaches from Garner's Produce and Quaker Valley Orchards and Guest House and marinated in our Caramelized Onion Vinegar.

Also, there's bacon fat. Because who doesn't love bacon fat? Psychos.

We keep things exciting around here, especially when it comes to sauces, and this is not your typical soy sauce.

The sauce itself has immense amounts of Umami, combined with the smokey, charred flavors of the applewood it's aged on, it's almost reminiscent of BBQ in and of itself and it will add the perfect kick to almost any dish.

Want to make all of your friends feel inferior at your next dinner? Then this recipe is for you. Trust us, it'll make you look like a professional chef and it's oh so simple to make.

For this recipe we used pristine stone fruits and apples baked in parchment paper with brown butter, honey, vinegar, and herbs. Your mouth is probably already watering but theres more! We topped it with some gorgeous edible flowers from Little Wild Things City Farm, alpine strawberries, and a sprinkle of salt from J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works.

Oh; definitely add ice cream. Because it's Ice cream. Why wouldn't you?

We love being able to experiment with different flavors and elements, especially with honey. Our Honey Vinegar was actually one of our first creations and over the years we’ve been able to play around with it more which resulted in this rich and syrupy concoction.

We put the honey vinegar through a cryo-concentration process; freezing the batch and thawing out the most intense components of the vinegar and distilling them into the over-the-top vinegar you're seeing. To mellow it slightly and add an additional layer of depth, we aged it on a combination of French and new American oak to give a decidedly buttery, bourbon-y flavor and texture to the batch.

You can drizzle this on literally anything and it’s incredible when paired with mezcal, bourbon, tequila, or whatever you prefer. We won’t tell you it’s wrong.

You see chamomile flowers, we see a new vinegar, totally normal right?

Anyways, we made an absolutely delectable Wild Chamomile Vinegar that is pretty much perfect in a Vodka or Gin Tonic, Aviation, French 75, carbonated beverage, or sparkling wine. We know you need one of these after a long week 🥂

The best tomatoes are local tomatoes from Garner's Produce and the best salads are tomato salads made with colorful greens and flowers from Little Wild Things City Farm! Tossing them all in our Elderflower and Honeysuckle vinegars doesn't hurt either.

How do you add a personal touch to your dishes? 🥗
