Yummies in a Jar

Canada's leaders take home Yummies in a Jar!

I am thrilled to announce that Yummies in a Jar has been chosen as one of several Muskoka products being presented at this week's 2025 Summer Council of Federation! Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada's Premiers and our Lieutenant Governor will be presented with some sweet swag during their stay at Deerhurst Resort!

Executive Chef and Food & Beverage Manager, Rory Golden contacted me last week and after careful consideration, 4 varieties of Yummies were chosen: Muskoka Medley, Baysville Berrylicious, Algonquin Sunset and Cranberries with Port Wine! Rory was also instrumental in including Yummies in a Jar at the G8 summit in 2010 - thank you Rory!!

I hope my jams will help sweeten the decisions made at this important 3 day meeting in Huntsville and that everyone enjoys this delicious taste of Muskoka!

Valentine's Day is on Friday and how better to start your special evening with a delicious appetizer from Yummies in a Jar!

For a very limited time, we are excited to offer a new Canadian heart shaped brie style called L’Attrappe Coeur (catch his/her heart!), that is not only delicious, but beautiful! This soft, bloomy rind cheese has a mild aroma of mushroom with a buttery mouth feel.

Pair this unique cheese with Ontario Flat Bread crackers or our "just arrived" Finnish Rye crackers and a jar of Baysville's own Yummies Pepper Jelly for an easy and delicious snack or appetizer! Limited quantities so order today and pick up at our Gallery/Gift Shop.

We also have some Milford Bay smoked Trout pate in our freezer. Defrost in no time and serve with the same delicious crackers!

Our winter hours are Thursday - Sunday from 11:00 am - 5:00.
Happy Valentines' Day to everyone! Lynn & John

Please join over 25 vendors at our 1st ever Bracebridge Farmers' Market Christmas Show at the Rotary Club in Bracebridge tomorrow from 10 am - 3 pm. It's a great time to stock up on local Arts & Crafts and Gourmet Food for the holiday season and chat with your favourite vendors! Our Yummies in a Jar Jingleberry Jam is always a highlight as a Stocking Stuffer or tucked into a basket of other Christmas goodies!

This is my last show of the season but our main Gallery will be open 11:00 - 5:00 pm most days throughout December. Our seasonal shop in town is now closed for the season.

It looks like a soggy day but with no snow or ice - it's the perfect day for shopping indoors! Have a great evening and we hope to see you at the show tomorrow! Cheers, Lynn

Please stop by and meet Nolan, our wonderful new employee who is enthusiastic, energetic and very personable. He is excited to welcome you into our shop and help you find whatever gourmet delight or Artisan's creation you are looking for.

Nolan has already been working in the kitchen with us this spring and will be in the store several days a week this summer. He also hopes to man my booth occasionally at the Bracebridge and Gravenhurst Farmers' Markets so he'll learn everything there is to know about Yummies!

At the moment, our main Gallery on Highway 117 is open Thursday - Sunday, 11 am - 5 pm or by appointment Monday - Wednesday. Our downtown store will be open over the long weekend on Friday noon - 4pm, Saturday 10 - 5pm and Sunday 10 - 2pm.

Enjoy your day and I hope you get a chance to stop into our downtown store or our Gallery this weekend😁.
