Let’s get this Four-Year Blog Anniversary Party started, shall we?
How about a giveaway with Le Creuset and Bonne Maman? Yes, please! The giveaway has ended. Thanks to all who entered.
Here’s what one lucky winner will win: three each, 13-ounce jars of assorted Bonne Maman (retail value = $13.50) + a 3 Quart Heritage Baker from Le Creuset (retail value = $50).
What’s not to love about Le Creuset, right? So pretty and so functional. While you could bake a pasta dish in here, homemade brownies (try this recipe for tasty brownies) would be so good in here – and pretty, too.
Can we talk about the gingham pattern on the jars of Bonne Maman? This is my favorite jam – well, aside from homemade, that is. Made with simple ingredients and tasteful packaging. If you need a gift for the holidays, there’s no wrapping needed.
Here’s the tiny print:

I am all about a good old fashioned strawberry jam, but a local company makes this F.R.O.G. jam – figs, raspberry, orange, and ginger – and it is so nice and bright in taste. Great with cheese and crackers.

Thank you for this giveaway! My husband and I were actually just in a Le Creuset outlet store, looking for this exact pan, and they didn’t have any. (I believe he envisioned baking savory, while I envisioned baking sweet.) Plus, who doesn’t love jam? My favorite hostess gift is a small, fun trinket that the host wouldn’t normally buy for him/herself – a festive ornament at holiday time, a special sparkling wine, a lovely bud vase, hand-painted chopsticks, or homemade raspberry jam – also my hands-down favorite flavor.

My favorite thing to bake is sweet. My favorite hostess gift to give is probably either some of my dried herbs or jam or jelly. I enjoy trying new jam and jelly recipes each year. My husband’s favorite is mulberry.

Hey Sarah, my baby is four years old, too! He’s a lot louder than yours, but maybe less work? Congratulations!
Wine is easy, but I have also given a nice Turkish towel with handmade soap for the kitchen. Roses, hydrangeas and lavender, or tomatoes, when we have them.
Sweet!
Raspberry, or this strawberry-rhubarb freezer jam we’re enjoying now.
Talk to you soon!
